Bible Commentary

Descriptive study of the book of Acts and its lessons.

In Twisted Unto Destruction, Donald J. Johnson (Convinced, Unprotected) shows how ditching the Church in favor of private Bible interpretation has also enabled some of the modern world’s worst crimes and vices. Once an Evangelical Protestant who took sola scriptura for granted, Johnson came to realize that setting ourselves up as little Magisteriums—whose opinions on the Bible’s meaning have to be as valid as anyone else’s—not only leads to endless splintering, but makes it possible to use Scripture to justify anything.

Drawing from the Coptic Orthodox tradition and the writings of saints and patristic scholars, this commentary invites readers into a profound ...

God has many ways of teaching us. Jesus taught by example. Men looked at how he lived, and decided to walk that way also. He also taught by precept, speaking directly to people, in a way we might call teaching today. But his favorite way of teaching was through the use of the parable. He loved to tell stories—stories with spiritual meanings. "In the fall of 1987," Jamie said, "I visited Israel with a camera crew. We had obtained permission from the Israeli government to set up cameras at ten of the sites where Jesus told his best-known parables.

That first volume in the Patristic Commentary on the Book of Isaiah opens the door to one of the rich and prophetically profound texts of the Old Testament. This Introduction is rooted in the Coptic Orthodox tradition and draws from the early Church Fathers, offering a panoramic view of Isaiah's life, message, and enduring legacy. Far more than a historical overview, this volume presents Isaiah as both seer and evangelist—the prophet whose writing is called "The Fifth Evangelist" and whose words the early Church saw fulfilled in Christ's incarnation, passion, and resurrection. Inside, you...

Galatians graciously expounds how the saved sinner has been declared safe from damnation by faith alone in the risen Saviour, and how our heavenly hope is more than enough to help us stay on the straight on narrow for God's glory when we live by faith.

This 65-page book is perfect to show self-righteous people their absolute folly when trying to save themselves by their “good works” or “keeping the law,” and equally it is perfect to show ...

Losing a pet is an experience that leaves a gaping hole in our hearts. I find that just talking about a rainbow bridge doesn't really help. It is a beautiful thought, but I am a Bible-believing Christian, so that led me to look up all references to rainbow in the Bible. Although there is no mention of a "rainbow bridge," what I found was that the rainbow covenant God made with Noah wasn't just to mankind but to every living creature that was with him! It was a covenant between God and all of his creation! God made an eternal, binding promise to animals!

In the Revelation Jesus speaks directly to John: “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;” The Revelation is not about “the things that were” or the past, at the time it was written. If this book is primarily about the future from the time of John receiving the Revelation, then we must consider that much of the things which shall be hereafter having commenced shortly thereafter, would now, in our time, 1900 years later, have already happened over that span of time, and can be found in history.

En El Dios viviente y el Dios de la resurrección, Witness Lee muestra que existe una distinción entre el Dios viviente y el Dios de la resurrección.
