Many Christians have read the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations, but few (including myself, until recently) have made these a topic of thorough study. Some contend that the prophetic narrative of Jeremiah and its epilogue, Lamentations, have Jewish historical significance only and no application for the Church today. Others choose to merely, skim these texts because their "doom and gloom" format is distressing, they may glean little from these books...

Description
The Christian community sits upon a vast resource of vintage exposition, exegetic and apologetic writings from a host of writers who have long since been ushered into the Lord's presence. Most of these books are out of print and some are difficult to obtain. In general, these writings sustain a devotional depth and a Christ-centered attraction that is void in much of today's Christian literature. The author has endeavored to include some of the best...

Discover the horror of God's international kegger-of-wrath tour. The book of Obadiah may be among the most neglected in the Old Testament. It is a message of divine judgment against Israel's cousins, the Edomites. Descended from Esau, Jacob's brother, the Edomites taunted Israel and celebrated her destruction at the hands of the Babylonians in 586 B.C. In response to such arrogance and hatred, a little-known Judaean prophet named Obadiah predicted...

Christianity has maliciously turned God and Jesus into a RELIGION
GOD IS NOT A RELIGION that as if "when there is no religion, there is no God."
God is above and beyond everything, much more beyond such a humanly created thing called "RELIGION."
In John 6:35, Jesus said: "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
Is that a religion? Is being a bread of life-a religion?

Have you read the Bible?
From cover to cover? From Genesis to Revelation?
It would seem that few of us have.
Not even devout Christians, or those you'd think would be required to read the whole Bible - like a nun who, when browsing through a copy of When God Speaks for Himself burst out, horrified:
"That's not true!
Those verses aren't in the Bible!"
To prove it, she opened the Bible - only to discover that she was wrong.

The overall theme of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon is succinctly stated in Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Concisely put, to know God is what knowledge means and such understanding should prompt fearful awe of Him. In his early years, Solomon's son learned that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom...

Genesis is the book of beginnings; and creation begins with light. Most religious people live with shuttered windows, receiving light only from their own people and their own tradition. Genesis 1—11 calls us to recognize all peoples as created by God and under the rainbow covenant of his light. This commentary opens windows on seeds of truth from Genesis 1-11 which are planted in the various environments "in front of the text"—including the New...
