Love is the route to do this and let us strive to be filled with the abundance of this virtue through the help of the mighty Spirit of God. Beloved, God's unconditional love is the gift of a lifetime. Grab hold of it and share this love every day with others.Endorsement: As believers, love is a compelling phenomenon in our walk and relationship with the Lord. As loaded as it is, the choice of love as a subject for this book makes it a must-read for everyone. The author systematically expounds upon the need to go beyond regarding love as a theoretical concept. She emphasizes the imperative for us to listen to our Lord's commandment. We must see love as an action word worthy of practice amongst ourselves in our daily lives in our homes, churches, workplaces, schools, market places, etc.- Pastor TochiWhen we listen to the Lord's injunction, we are in obedience. When we listen not, we are in disobedience. The author dutifully points out God's immutable style of rewarding compliance and the inescapable consequences of disobedience. The word of God in Isaiah 1:19-20 anchors her point. "If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land, but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."In agreement with the author, love, among many other factors, is the uniqueness of our oneness as God's creation.- Hans C.I loved the flow of this book, and you can sense that this book is Spirit-filled from the beginning to the end.

Romans
Romans: Dispensationally Considered uses a simple approach to teach anyone interested in understanding the Bible how to learn, understand, and enjoy the Bible on their own!This book is a verse-by-verse expositional commentary on the Book of Romans. It acknowledges Scripture as being the inspired, complete, and authoritative Word of God. Romans is the foundational book on Pauline doctrine and leads into the remainder of Paul's writings.After Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, God told Ananias, "Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel" (Acts 9:15). Paul's message to the Gentiles was both separate and unique from the message preached by the Twelve. An agreement was made between the Twelve and Paul that their distinct gospels would be carried to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and the Gentiles respectively. About their meeting in Jerusalem, Paul wrote, "When they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me towards the Gentiles: ) . . . that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision" (Gal. 2:7-9).Of all of Paul's writings, the book of Romans is definitive. It first establishes a legal argument justifying God's wrath. Then, Paul reveals God's plan for the redemption of those who choose to believe in the finished work of His Son on the Cross. All of Paul's subsequent epistles are built upon the Gospel of the Grace of God. This unique gospel, destined for the Gentiles, was revealed to Paul by the Resurrected Lord Himself. It is for that reason that Paul continually referred to as "my gospel" (Rom. 2:16, 16:25; 2 Tim. 2:8)
In the Meantime
There is an urgent need to recover an appreciation of the ascension--as a theological vision for the triumph of God in Christ and as an orientation for worship, prayer, and the mission of the church. What does the ascension mean? What difference does it make? And how does the church live in dynamic union with the Ascended Lord and Christ.

Why Poetry in the Bible Matters
In "Why Poetry in the Bible Matters," Robert Alter masterfully explores the profound significance of poetry within biblical texts, elucidating how its distinctive forms and techniques serve as powerful vehicles for theological expression and philosophical reflection. Through compelling analysis and vibrant examples, Alter reveals how biblical prophetic poetry, such as the imagery-laden works of Isaiah, or the profound, often challenging verses of Job, functions not merely as artistic expression but as a means of deeply engaging with the divine, the ethical, and the human experience. He argues that the structured parallelism and evocative language found in these texts are not just literary devices, but mnemonic and persuasive tools that have helped scripture resonate across millennia.Alter goes beyond mere literary critique, delving into the historical and cultural contexts of these ancient writings to enrich our understanding of their lasting impact. He highlights how biblical poets like Isaiah and the author of Job utilized their profound grasp of poetic form to address the existential questions of their times, drawing readers into a reflective journey on the nature of faith, suffering, and redemption.

No Worries
No Worries: Learning to Trust Our Sovereign God Are you a worrier? Are you preoccupied with the "What ifs" and worst-case scenarios? Unrelenting doubts and fears can be paralyzing! Worry can interfere with your daily life and ruin your relationships. We may dignify worry by calling it by some other name-concern, burden, a cross to bear - but Jesus calls it sinful. God feeds the birds and clothes the lilies and He will clothe and feed us. However it is our "little faith" that hinders Him from working in our lives. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells His followers - then and now - "do not be worried." That seems impossible considering He also says, "in this world you WILL have trouble..." but there has to be a way to do what He says in spite of the realities of life. There is! The fact that Jesus Himself commanded it means it is possible. If you struggle with worries and wish you didn't, join Jan and Pam - two recovering worriers - for "No Worries: Learning to Trust our Sovereign God"! This 8-week study will lead you through Scripture and help you learn how to walk in God's truth and to trust Him, eliminating your need to worry! He has great blessings for us if only we will trust Him.

The Fourth Synoptic Gospel
A bold reassessment of John's Gospel and its relationship to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke Generations ago in biblical studies, it was taken for granted that John wrote with full knowledge of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. But this consensus was overturned in the 1930s and since then, there has been no agreement on the issue. Today many scholars view the problem as unsolvable or impossibly complex. Mark Goodacre, however, takes a different view. In his galvanizing new book, Goodacre synthesizes long-neglected data with newer perspectives to make a strong case for John's familiarity with all three Synoptic Gospels. Writing in a clear and accessible style, Goodacre takes a systematic, step by step approach to showing that John knew and used the narratives of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Goodacre identifies key points of agreement that range from diagnostic shards to shared structures. He also analyzes key differences; in his telling, John dramatically transforms the Synoptics and develops their Christology while adding a beloved disciple of Jesus, who is himself a Synoptic character. To make his argument accessible to a broad audience, Goodacre minimizes the use of scholarly citations and translates all Greek words. Just as importantly, he illustrates his claims with clear, simple charts so that readers can see for themselves the evidence that John knew and used the Synoptics. The Fourth Synoptic Gospel is sure to spark lively discussions among biblical scholars. Given that John's relationship to the Synoptics is a fundamental issue in New Testament studies, Goodacre's book is also a must read for students and professors alike.

Early Judaism and the New Testament
The relationship between Early Judaism and the New Testament is a major issue in biblical studies, one that has impacted Jewish-Christian relations for centuries. This impact has often been negative due to troubling misconceptions of both the New Testament and Jewish writings contemporaneous with it. Misunderstandings have arisen from inaccurate information, religious traditions, and anti-Semitism.Warren Carter and Ariel Feldman address and correct these misconceptions by engaging with the New Testament and major writings from Early Judaism, including the Apocrypha, Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Philo and Josephus. The authors emphasize various interactions among these traditions for the purpose of better interpreting the New Testament and, importantly, avoiding anti-Jewish bias.This is an ideal supplemental textbook for students of the New Testament as well as interested clergy and laity. The text is straightforward and readable, and unlike other books on the topic, it does not assume prior knowledge of Early Judaism or of New Testament engagement with it. Each chapter recognizes troubling misunderstandings that people often have about the interactions between Early Judaism and the New Testament and includes discussion prompts.

Taking Religion Seriously
"The book is a highly personal and readable account of a profound change in the author's outlook: one that grew gradually over the course of decades but has lately blossomed..."-The Wall Street Journal"Millions are like me when it comes to religion: well-educated and successful people for whom religion has been irrelevant," Charles Murray writes. "For them, I think I have a story worth telling." Taking Religion Seriously is Murray's autobiographical account of the decades-long evolution in his stance toward the idea of God in general and Christianity in particular. He argues that religion is something that can be approached as an intellectual exercise. His account moves from the improbable physics of the Big Bang to recent discoveries about the nature of consciousness, from evolutionary psychology to hypotheses about a universal Moral Law. His exploration of Christianity delves into the authorship of the Gospels, the reliability of biblical texts, and the scholarship surrounding the resurrection story. Murray, the author of Coming Apart and coauthor of The Bell Curve, does not write as an expert. He acknowledges that those taking religion seriously for the first time, like himself, must grapple with topics and ideas that defy intellectual mastery. In this book, Murray offers his personal example of intellectual struggle toward religion. "Maybe God needs a way to reach overeducated agnostics and that's what I stumbled into," he writes. "It's a more arid process than divine revelation but it has been rewarding. And, if you're like me, it's the only game in town."

Is it just?
The book of Jeremiah is a sobering read. As a prophet, he was tasked with calling the people of Israel to repent. To turn from their wicked ways of worshipping false gods and entertaining fruitless prophecies. Abandon their cruel ways of treating the most vulnerable among them with injustice and scorn. He points out that their self-sufficient lives were a form of disobedience and calls them to a life of radical repentance. These woes are not reserved only for the Israelites of old. Anyone who claims to be a follower of God needs to take an inventory of the themes littered throughout the book and evaluate if God is asking them to repent of the same offenses. About the Author: Being enamored by the Lord and His word from a young age, Trevor found he loves studying theology and then sharing what he finds. After graduating from Bible college, he held multiple positions in schools and churches, teaching God's Word. Though he isn't in vocational ministry anymore, his outlet has become coaching youth sports and constantly pursuing a deeper understanding of God's word, encouraging others with what he finds.
A Post Tribulation Manifesto
A *spell* has been cast over the church making the emperor's new clothes seem to exist. At the same time Jesus' plain teachings about His coming and Paul's usage of those Scriptures have vanished from our Bibles. Because of this the saints are now vulnerable and spiritually unprepared to enter the time of the Tribulation. The startling conclusion of the book is that there are absolutely no verses of Scripture that declare a pre-tribulation rapture or even a mid-tribulation rapture. The church must prepare itself for a post-tribulation rapture. This book breaks the *spell*.

The Book That Reads Me
In the 1950s, one of the churches I was serving held a picnic at an Oregon state park. For a brief time, I found myself in conversation with another group in the same park. On learning that I was a pastor, one person in that group said, "Oh, you poor man!" As the conversation went on, it became evident that the remark was not based on a perception of my economic condition, but on some previous experience of a church's demands on a pastor's time. I did not share such a negative view of a pastor's life then, nor have I done so since. Serving as a pastor of a parish is not always easy, but it is a fulfilling learning experience, learning with, and from, parishioners. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to see God at work in the lives of individuals, marriages, families: To see how the Holy Spirit led a man who "wanted nothing to do with things Christian" become an elder and a leader in evangelistic outreach; to watch young people who were given opportunity to serve in the local church decide to go to seminary and become pastors themselves; and to receiving, during a worship service, a phone call from a dear lady, calling from her hospital bed to say she was praying for the church gathered.Central in the Bible is the message of the love of God in Jesus Christ. I am writing in the hope and prayer that this life-changing, redeeming love of Christ may occupy the center, not the periphery, of our lives and be the main motivator of all we think and do.Bob Hampel
Jesus and the Other Place
Jesus and the Other Place seeks to take seriously what Jesus tells usabout the fate of those who do not follow him. The message Jesus gives usabout the next world can be found throughout the Bible, and can besummarised very simply: we are offered two paths, and we can choosebetween two possible futures - we can receive eternal life, or we canperish.Traditional mainstream Christian teaching says the unsaved will suffereternal torment, but this is not the biblical message. Contrary to what manyChristians have been taught, the Bible clearly and consistently teaches thatthose who reject God will perish - they will cease to exist.The doctrine of eternal torment distorts the gospel message, disrupts ourevangelism, and makes honest and sensitive pastoral care for the bereavedeven harder than it is already. Even worse, it presents our Heavenly Fatheras a cruel monster.
In the Meantime
There is an urgent need to recover an appreciation of the ascension--as a theological vision for the triumph of God in Christ and as an orientation for worship, prayer, and the mission of the church. What does the ascension mean? What difference does it make? And how does the church live in dynamic union with the Ascended Lord and Christ.

The Well That Washes What It Shows
Christianity Today Book Awards Bible and Devotional Award of Merit (2025)An accessible introduction to the Bible that brings together theological insight with pastoral concerns In this distinctive introduction to the Bible, Jonathan Linebaugh illuminates Scripture's dual capacity for revealing human sinfulness and imparting divine love. Drawing on the language of the poet George Herbert, Linebaugh characterizes Scripture as "the well that washes what it shows"--that is, the living and active word that simultaneously reveals our need for Jesus and gives us Jesus. Linebaugh begins by outlining Scripture's overall story, subject matter, and shape. He then provides a broad overview of the Old and New Testaments, followed by a case study of the book of Romans that demonstrates how to bring together theological, historical, exegetical, and devotional concerns when studying Scripture. Whereas many introductions to the Bible prioritize one of these concerns at the expense of the others, Linebaugh shows readers how to synthesize them. In so doing, he demonstrates how reading the Bible can be both generative and regenerative: we attend to the gospel revealed in Scripture so that same gospel can be spoken afresh on the basis of Scripture. Grounded in Linebaugh's combined expertise as a theologian and experience as an ordained minister, The Well That Washes What It Shows is a valuable resource for pastors, seminary students, and anyone seeking to read Scripture in ways that engage both the mind and the heart.
