Bible Old New

How was the Bible written?—“Whence is it? From heaven, or of men?”—Had the writers of the Bible any special or peculiar help in doing their work?—Is there anything in the Bible which makes it unlike all other books, and therefore demands our respectful attention?—These are questions of vast importance. They are questions to which I wish to offer an answer in this volume. To speak plainly, the subject I propose to examine is that deep one, the inspiration of Scripture. I believe the Bible to have been written by inspira¬tion of God, and I want others to be of the same belief. ...

“Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.”— Col. iii. 17. All, probably, have felt at times a painful void, after they had been wholly taken up with some work of their calling or active duty. The soul has seemed to come to itself, and found itself empty and exhausted. What it has done, it has, according to its infirmity, done according to the will of God. At least, it does not, on examining itself, find anything, in any marked way, done contrary to the law and will of God. On the contrary, it has even been ...

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 ...

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 ...

Esther is one of the books of the Bible which draws critics to discount it as having an unproven validity, in an attempt to prove the Bible is unreliable and not the unerring Word of God. It is a curious book because it is a historical narrative, which has no spiritual references or specific lessons and, in many ways, it appears that its only purpose is to put the celebration of Purim into a historical context. However, the narrative is loaded with lessons and applications for the people of God. Even though God is not mentioned in the narrative, just like in creation, His sovereignty and ...

Have you ever found yourself in the wrong because you totally missed the point? It could have been a school assignment, a botched task given by your employer, feeling the cold shoulder of relationship because you missed the point of something said, or even the punchline of a joke that everyone else understood. Regrettably, when we face those kinds of situations, most people revert to a self-defense mechanism that questions our guilt or failure. Sometimes that is displayed by pushing off our failing to others. I didn’t have enough time. The instructions were unclear. I was not given ...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

From the first mention of light in the opening verses of Genesis to the final description of the New Jerusalem in Revelation, this study examines the ways in which light is used to convey important theological concepts to readers. Through a deep dive into key passages and stories, author and theologian Dr. John Smith sheds light on the biblical symbolism of light, exploring how it represents everything from truth to ...

THE messages for young lives "which compose this little volume are found in the book of Jeremiah. They spoke strongly to my own heart during a long and lonely voyage on a tropic sea, and I wrote them down more for my own instruction and inspiration than with the thought of publishing them for others. But whatever reaches one heart is apt to reach another. Whatever helps one life is pretty sure to help another. Hoping that this little book may not prove to be an exception to this nearly universal rule, I send it on its way. May it speak some word of counsel to many a modest youth who like ...

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.

I do not know into whose hands this tract may fall. But I know there is no living soul, who ought not to feel an interest in its subject. Young men or maidens, old men or children, married or single, gentle or simple, listen to a question;—Shall you be saved? Reader, I entreat you in all affection, to examine the question I put before you. I address you as a dying creature,—an immortal creature,—a creature going to be judged before the bar of God. As ever you would die in peace, rise again with hope, be acquitted in the day of judgment, and live for ever in glory,—give me a hearing ...

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.

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.

Is God is dwelling among men on earth today? Where is His dwelling place? How may I be sure of a place in it? This book was written because believers want to know the answers to these important questions. It looks firstly at the Old Testament - remembering that 'whatsoever things were written before were written for our learning' (Romans 15:4) and that the tabernacle which Moses built is said in the New Testament to be a symbol or parable for the present time (Hebrews 9:9). As these lessons are applied to what is written in the New Testament, the author's prayer is that God's Holy Spirit ...
