Bible Theology

Eugene Peterson was quite concerned about the language we use between Sundays. He strived for a continuity of language between the words we use in Bible studies and the words we use when we are out hiking, at work, or eating dinner with family. He illustrated this passion in his writings and weekly sermons. A Month of Sundays is a devotional collection featuring excerpts of Eugene's Sunday sermons arranged into thoughtful readings for every day of the month, drawn from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

The Message for the Last Days explains the history and progression of end time prophecies found within and outside of the Bible. It reveals the original message compared to changes over time leading to modern interpretation. The Message for the Last Days explains how modern Christian culture has created numerous beliefs about end time events, while determining that there can only be one correct answer based upon the original intent.

After her brother died unexpectedly and her mother moved into a dementia-care facility, spiritual travel writer and Episcopal deacon Lori Erickson felt called to a new quest: to face death head-on, with the eye of a tourist and the heart of a pastor.

Dr. Stauffer and Dr. Ray methodically, systematically, and scripturally consider many of the end times details concerning the timing of the Rapture.

Jesus is coming! The marvelously heartwarming theme of Paul’s two electrifying epistles to the Thessalonian believers is a stirring, rejuvenating communiqué of vibrant hope, one they desperately needed to hear. In today’s post nine-11 world, where we seemingly lurch from crisis to crisis, this is a message we'd do well to take on board.

In this sequel to the Amazon best seller, listen to Even More Signs of Our Times such as mass shootings, racism, historic wildfires, pestilences, wars and rumors of wars, the "second Timothy 3" generation, false prophets, demonic indoctrination, widespread blasphemy, sin abounding, and love waxing cold. These signs, coupled with the first 12, will leave no doubt in your mind that our generation has witnessed the fulfillment of "Last Days" Bible prophecy. If you are not yet a believer in the biblical doctrine of "the Rapture"...after hearing this book, YOU WILL BE.

We’ve all felt the weight of shame and brokenness. We long for a fresh start, but what we need most is the ability to see ourselves through God’s eyes of grace. New York City pastor Chris Durso believes grace is the central message of all Scripture. While there have been some daring heists and cunning capers throughout history, this book is about the greatest heist the world has ever seen...a daring raid where God’s son took back what the enemy had stolen, freeing us from the power of shame, sin, and Satan.

What if I told you that the reason every single end-of-the-world prediction fails is because the world is not about to end? And what if I told you that the world is not getting worse, but it’s actually getting better? Usually when we hear the words "end-times", we think of worldwide tribulation, wars, and rumors of wars, earthquakes, the antichrist rising, and the church being taken off the earth while the unrighteous are left behind. That's what J.A. was taught growing up in a small country church in Arkansas, and is the belief system behind the wildly successful Left Behind series. But what if the Bible has a very different story to tell?

Most books about the end of the age focus on what the enemy will be doing. In The Mystery of God, Thomas Watts focuses on what God will be doing. Beginning with Rev. 10:7 and relying on scripture as his guide, Watts answers important questions.

Complex imagery. Bewildering prophecy. Vivid descriptions of unparalleled violence. The wrath of God. Judgment Day. And yet the book of Revelation is so much more! It is an epic love story wrapped around a desperate adventure, culminating in a daring rescue and the promise of the bride and the Prince of Peace living happily ever after.

The Bible tells us that the end times will be marked with signs: social signs, physical signs, and spiritual signs. Today, many of the signs of the end times are present in our world. Due to a short-sighted approach to the study of history, many people miss the presence of the signs. The occurrences in our world appear "normal", but historically speaking, many occurrences in our world are not "normal".

The Apostle Paul writes the Book of Romans as a legal document to justify the believer's freedom. Free by Divine Decree takes you inside the court room to witness how the case for your freedom was argued and decided. The final verdict from the Supreme Judge is that "in Christ" you are righteous not by achieving but by believing. The truth in this audiobook will set you free - free indeed. No further appeal! Your freedom is not a feeling it is a fact. The Verdict Is In: Condemnation is OUT.

The debate over whether or not a person who has received salvation through Jesus Christ, can become lost again, has been around probably since the beginning of Christianity. It is a very difficult subject and one that contains some very unpleasant aspects and many pastors and preachers choose to bypass the subject for this very reason. The term that refers to someone who forsakes his faith is “an apostate”.

The story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth is told in the first four books of the New Testament of the Bible: the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The word "gospel" comes from old English, and means the "good story"....

If you want to understand who Christ is, you have to begin by understanding what Jesus meant when he said in Luke 24:27, "And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself" (NIV). In Finding Jesus in Exodus, biblical scholar Nicholas Perrin shows that the Bible's story of the Exodus from beginning to end is filled with prophetic foretellings of the person and work of Christ.

In The Apocalypse Has Begun, Steve Terrell vividly explains how these eschatological events came to pass and makes a convincing argument for the apocalyptic trials that are soon to follow. He also clearly shows how many of these events will not take place as people have expected.

As I wrote this third addition to the series Beware of the End Times, the American election season for 2016 has been transpiring. Neither the Democrat or Republican candidates are campaigning on the basis of restoring the moral compass to society, but despite this, many do not recognize how broken the world has become. Some want to say, "We have righteous leaders campaigning," but meanwhile many undeniable inconsistencies exist with them all.
