A comprehensive study guide with verse-by-verse commentary on all of Philippians. The theme is the mind of Christ in the believer and to love one another.

Revive the Christian meaning of heart-centered living. The role of the heart in the quest to love God and to follow Christ has been lost. By cultivating a pure heart devoted to loving God, one follows the teachings of Christ. The Bible is saturated in references to the heart. By examining the heart-related verses in the four Gospels, it is apparent that Christ makes multiple points regarding the heart and its primacy in Christian life. Christ states that the heart is the human origin of both good and evil; the heart is the home of the spiritual discernment (not the mind or intellect); to ...

Jeremiah's work of prophesy is a marvel of poetic expression mixed with tragic history. He wrote to a nation hopelessly in denial about the doom upon them. Judah's persistent sins will result in conquest and eventual destruction by Babylon, but no one wants to listen to the prophet's warnings. Instead, false prophets have lied to the people, promsing that all would be well. With each lie, and each insistence on sin, Jeremiah's consternation turns to frustration and bitter sadness, mirroring the emotions of God. This first volume, covering the first thirty-one chapters, offers a full picture...

Dr. Parker has always believed that Bible study that does not get down to the level of affecting the heart is very limited at best, and sometimes even dangerous. Intellectual Bible study generally puffs one up. Bible study is not primarily intended to inform, although it does inform. Bible study is primarily for the purpose of bringing us to the place of ...

If the Bible isn’t a science book or an instruction manual, then what is it? What do people mean when they say the Bible is inspired? When Rachel Held Evans found herself asking these questions, she began a quest to better understand what the Bible is and how it is meant to be read. What she discovered changed her—and it will change you too.

The Bible, she discovers, is not a static work but is a living, breathing, captivating, and confounding book that is able to equip us to join God’s loving and redemptive work in the world.
