Bible Commentary

There are over 10,000 religions on the planet. Why do you believe the Bible? Many believers will talk about their upbringing or the positive effects the scriptures have had on their lives. Some consider blind faith a sign of obedience – a noble badge of honor. In other words, many Christians believe that the Bible is true but can’t necessarily explain why they believe it’s true. Until now. Understanding why you believe the Bible can supercharge your faith and your capacity to share the good news with others. Not to mention your ability to prepare your kids for skeptics, critics, and ...

“The Scriptures opened up are light for the soul and food for the heart," says Pastor Koontz, adding, "Nothing suits a Christian better than growth in the knowledge of his God, and how can he grow, whether young or old in years or faith, if the Spirit’s Word does not feed him? Open up your Bible, and use these reference book commentaries as a guide to show the sure and straight way to the mercies and glories of God in Christ Jesus. You may read a chapter or two of Scripture and then use the books to shed more light, to connect what went before and what is still to come, to focus the ...

Billy Graham once wrote "I used to read five psalms every day — that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man." This daily reading enabled him to read all of the Psalms and all of the Proverbs in one month. The purpose of this book is to summarize five psalms and one proverb each day for 31 days. I have placed Psalm 119 on the 31st day because of its length. For Proverbs, I selected a few verses since each chapter is so long. Each chapter is written in common language that anyone should be ...

It is time to get your whole bible back! If you want to know what God is saying - go read all the verses in your bible that are NOT underlined. Author Russell Walden expounds the gospel of Luke with prophetic insight and revelatory understanding. In church culture today it is more common to hear topical messages than an expositional study of the Bible. In 1 Tim. 4:13, however, Paul exhorts young Timothy to "give attention to reading." Revelatory reading and verse by verse exposition of scripture is very much needed in Christianity today. In this volume, Russell brings a dynamic, ...

Acts is a book of action. But whose actions does it follow? The most obvious answer is the Apostles’. The book’s full name is the Acts of the Apostles, for it recounts their efforts to take the gospel to the nations. Yet we can also think of it as the Acts of the Holy Spirit. Poured out like a mighty rushing wind (Acts 2:2), the Spirit empowered the Apostles’ witness and opened hearts to believe. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul offers an in-depth study on the Spirit’s work through these Christians and in the growth and spread of the early church.

As we come to the book of Romans, we see that it is one of several epistles written by Paul, the apostle. He wrote approximately two thirds of the New Testament. This letter was written about ten years into Paul’s ministry and about ten years from his death. The foundation of the New Covenant church had mostly been laid by the other apostles; Paul was visiting and writing to various churches to make sure they were walking out what had been taught to them. It is common in Paul’s writings for the first part of a letter to be theological and the last part to be practical, applying the ...

Romans chapter 9 has become a dividing point between competing theologies for years. Calvinistic authors ground much of their interpretation of the Bible and understanding of God's nature and character from this particular chapter. Christians that are unaware of the theological traps they can fall into by blindly following Calvin's theological determinism can result in a distorted view of God's nature and character. The consequence of this is surely problematic when applying a predetermined view of God to the rest of the Bible that the Scriptures simply will not support. This has at times ...

"And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever" (Daniel 2:44). The overarching message of Daniel is that Jesus the Messiah is now ruling over the nations. He is the King of kings. Daniel tells us that Messiah’s kingdom will advance in the whole world from “generation to generation” (Daniel 4:4,34). Christ’s dominion is “given to the people of the saints of the most High” (Daniel 7:22...
