Bible Commentary

What is the Origin of the Universe? And the fight is on. In the red corner, Science. In the blue corner, Religion. For hundreds of years, the scuffling continues, and there's no clear winner. Now, there is, and it's neither! Think. The Origin of the Universe can only have ONE explanation. To reach that, we have to show coherent completeness between Science and God. Your faith in Science and God hangs in the balance. You can't have confidence in the Big Bang and Creation if you think there are conflicting stories. Meet the mediator and winner, Theology.

We can go on a treasure hunt in the Bible, to not only know more about our Lord Jesus Christ but also His instructions for us while we wait for Him. First and Second Thessalonians are written to a model church to give them further instruction and assure them of their pre-Tribulation rapture. First Timothy is Paul’s charge to Timothy to keep the doctrine the same as when Christ gave it to Paul, and how the local church is to operate. Second Timothy is Paul’s challenge to Timothy before his death. Titus is Paul’s instruction to Titus to continue the ministry in the midst of apostasy. ...

If you could spend a few minutes with the giants of faith in the Old Testament in person, what lessons would they share with you? In Learning from the Giants, John C. Maxwell draws on 50 years of studying the Bible to share the stories of Elijah, Elisha, Job, Jacob, Deborah, Isaiah, Jonah, Joshua and Daniel. These people fought and won epic battles, served kings, and endured great hardships for God to come out on the other side transformed through His grace.

A verse-by-verse in-depth consideration of one of the most important books of the Bible. The book of Hebrews is often under-studied because many Bible readers are unfamiliar with its purpose.

Thus the book will: (1) show the purpose, functions and limitations of the Old Law (2) explain the greatness of Christianity in contrast to the Israelite Covenant (3) offer encouragement to Christians who may be (as the original readers were) ...

Genesis begins the Bible and is foundational to it. In recent years, it has become commonplace for both humanists and churchmen to sneer at anyone who takes Genesis 1-11 as historical. Yet, to believe in the myth of evolution is to accept trillions of miracles to account for our cosmos. Spontaneous generation, the development of something out of nothing, and the blind belief in the miraculous powers of chance require tremendous faith.

For 70 years, we have been taught that Jesus died on the cross from asphyxiation (strangulation) because in the hanging position he was unable to exhale. This theory is not based on sound science. This audiobook explains the medical cause of Jesus's death and why even Pilate was surprised how soon Jesus had died. The dramatic changes that took place in Jesus's body from the Last Supper until death are described in layman's terms.

The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.

I want to make it clear right away that this commentary series is not necessarily for Bible scholars, pastors, or anyone else who is well versed in the Hebrew and Greek of the Bible.

Una visión profunda y genuina de las palabras de Jesús en el contexto de nuestro siglo.

In one astonishing, short period–the ninth century BCE–the peoples of four distinct regions of the civilized world created the religious and philosophical traditions that have continued to nourish humanity into the present day: Confucianism and Daoism in China; Hinduism and Buddhism in India; monotheism in Israel; and philosophical rationalism in Greece. Historians call this the Axial Age because of its central importance to humanity’s spiritual development.
