Bible Old New

This essay is an overview of the ways in which the Old Testament books of wisdom, poetry, and Writings are used in the New Testament. The OT Writings are rarely quoted in the NT, but the many themes are found therein. The use of OT Wisdom books (Job, Eccl) is examined in the Gospels, Pauline Letters, and other letters separately. The use of OT poetry is seen in the frequent quotation and use of Psalms and hymns. The essays includes an extensive bibliography.

Human history traced from our once-upon-a-time origins, through the great disaster that nearly wiped the human race from the planet.

The essence of the Bible - true to the text, true to the spirit, eminently understandable.

In this text, I am not attempting to sway anyone from their current beliefs. Rather, I am attempting to sew together many of the loose ends of history, literature (including the Bible and the world’s other religious texts), science, and human experience. Though the observations might seem rather fantastical, I find them to be only deductions that incorporate the known facts. The reader must make his/her own decisions as to the authenticity of the citations used in this text and then make judgment as to the factual weights of both the pros and the cons behind the presence or absence of ...

God’s grace isn’t cheap. Actually, it’s completely free. The very thing that cost Jesus His life has been given to mankind without a price tag. But this wonderfully freeing message is easily lost in the pages of the Bible if we mix the Old and New Testaments without understanding the context of what we are reading. Jump into the pages of this book as it takes you on a journey that will leave you on the edge of your seat with excitement! Chapter after chapter we rip the lid off confusing scriptures and follow the golden thread of God’s love through both the Old and New Testaments, ...

In the introduction the author deals with covenants in general, explaining the meaning and purpose of covenants in the Bible and how they were ratified. We are then given the details of three important covenants; the ones God made with … · Abraham; the Nation of Israel at Sinai; and David. Next follows a brief history of the Nation after Solomon before dealing with the New Covenant in the rest of the Old Testament. This is followed by a consideration of the New Covenant in the New Testament, and the final chapter deals with the place of Gentiles with respect to covenants. (ere any ...

BRILLIANTS ¬ Selected from the Writings of C. H. SPURGEON *** ¬ The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time, but using every hour for the highest ends. *** So sweet are the comforts of the Lord, that not only the saints themselves may sing of them, but even the heavens and the earth may take up the song. It Cakes something to make a mountain sing; and yet the prophet summons quite a choir of them. Lebanon, and Sirion, and the high hills of Bashan and Moab, he would set them all singing because of Jehovah's grace to His own Zion. May we not also make mountains ...

When people talk about religion, they often speak of faith and belief, but what do those words mean and do they mean the same thing to you as they do to me? If faith is an integral part of relationship to God, don’t you think we ought to understand just what genuine biblical faith is all about? The second book of Moses, which we today call Exodus, is a blueprint for understanding what faith is and what it is not. Will you join me discovering how faith is married to a relationship to God.

I first began the series of messages that make up this book in the early 1990's. Our church's Bible Institute was doing very well but I had difficulty finding the types of materials I wanted to teach our students. There were Bible survey books available to be sure. None were the sort I was looking for, something that would give a survey rather than a lot of detail, and something that would be devotional at the same time. It was during those days I began preparing and preaching these messages. It is my prayer that the form and style of the book will be inspirational and helpful to you and ...

Mankind lives in an analog universe, the Physical World, where there is time, gravity, speed, distance, and location. Comparisons and communication of physical properties are the only world we know. Everything is on a continuum, from small to large, from minor to serious, from near to far. Time is our ruler. But God lives in a digital world of right and wrong, good and bad, sinful or sinless. There is no in between. The Spiritual Realm has no time, location, weight, or distance. God, and Christ with Him, can be everywhere at once, God was not created and will not die, there are no ...

聖經記載有關耶穌基督有一天會降臨在橄欖山信徒將會被提等等,以及數之不盡的預言,究竟發生了沒有. 答案是肯定發生了不然的話,約翰怎能把許多有關末世的情況,都詳細記下來呢

There are five post-exile books that are interwoven with Nehemiah’s narrative that help give us a clearer picture of this part of Israel’s history. They are Haggai, Zechariah, Esther, Ezra and Malachi. Nehemiah seems to be written like a diary of what happened in regard to the work that God had laid on his heart and therefore it is a very personal account. The theme of this study is going to be when we work together, but it is much more. The book of Nehemiah is meant to cause an unrest within us because we settle for what is, rather than what could be. It is meant to shame us for ...

I think there is a resistance within me when it comes to giving God my all, even when I know that is the right thing to do. Since the error of my way is comfortable and familiar, even when God’s blessing is withheld, I want to pretend it is for reasons other than me. In order to break this same type of resistance by the nation Israel, God uses two men to speak to the nation on His behalf. They were the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. I wonder if these two prophets can’t light our own path back to where God wants us to be in life, to understand what He wants us to do here and now. If you ...

For me, this story of 2 Samuel is like discovering that my favorite hero of days gone by was more of a scoundrel than a hero. David had been called by God and he is remembered here more for things he did that were questionable and out of character for one called by God, than for the good things that has many people giving him the title of a man after God’s own heart. Much of the good of his relationship with God is recorded in this book as well as the failure that proved him to be human, like you and me. When God called David, He was not expecting perfection, but faithfulness. The same is...

We are living in times where known prophets are speaking of encounters they have had with departed saints. For many years, Matthew has been having visitations, and more recently, Jesus commissioned him to interview five saints that the Holy Spirit brought to earth. These saints, part of the great cloud of witnesses mentioned in Hebrews 12:1, all answered the same nine questions.

The church is called to live for the will of God, but in reality I think that very few people know God’s will, let alone live for it. Do you want to own God’s will as your own? Then do something about it. Become a faithful student of God’s Word, in the classroom of the Spirit of God by joining with me in this study of the book of Ezra and His will can become your own.

The unsettling events of 2020 are mind boggling and can easily cause a person to wonder just what happened. As if the world was not already confusing and complicated enough, having the events of the past year crashing into our reality has left many people trying to make sense of a world that doesn’t make sense. Are you trying to figure out what is the point of it all? Finding meaning in life seems to be impossible, but there is nothing new under the sun and Solomon has some words of hope for us to consider. The book of Ecclesiastes is a must for anyone asking, why am I here? What is the ...
