It is often said, even by critical scholars who should know better, that “writing in the name of another” was widely accepted in antiquity. But New York Times bestselling author Bart D. Ehrman dares to call it what it was: literary forgery, a practice that was as scandalous then as itis today. In Forged, Ehrman’s fresh and original research takes readers back to the ancient world, where forgeries were used as weapons by unknown authors to fend off attacks to their faith and establish their church.

Jonah, probably the most well-known bible story in the world, but is it more than just a bloke being swallowed by a fish, how is it relevant to us today; we can ask a lot of questions about the text in Jonah but what questions does the text ask of us? Join us on the ups and downs of the reluctant prophet who changes a city. For me I love it when history brings the scripture alive, so there will be a bit of that in this study, but it’s more important for me that studying the bible is not an academic exercise but a journey that impacts my world as I look at His story.

Many people lament that they have never read or heard a single take that makes sense. This real-life explanation can get one started in unraveling the enigmatic book. Volume Two “Thunder” covers Revelation chapters 1-11, whereas Volume One addressed the middle of the book deciphering the dragon, sea beast, land beast, false prophet, 144,000, and other intriguing characters.

"No matter what happens over the next few hours and days—everyone, remain calm. This is not the end, but only the end of the world as we know it...." Unfortunately, when some people read the phrase “end of the world”, they envision cataclysmic scenarios that involve apocalyptic doom and global destruction. They tend to see all chaos and crisis through this negative lens, and sadly, it destroys their hope for the future. This is not that kind of message!

The Apostolic Fathers are the Christian writers from the first and second centuries who are thought to have been disciples of the Apostles or to have been so directly influenced by the Apostles that their writings are considered echoes of genuine Apostolic teaching. Their writings form a link of tradition that binds these writings to those of the New Testament. Chief among the apostolic fathers are the three first-century Bishops: St. Clement of Rome, St. Ignatius of Antioch, and St. Polycarp of Smyrna, who were disciples of St. Peter and St. John.

Unveiled Horizon is not meant to be an academic work, for I am not an academic expert. It's not meant to provide answers to your questions. Rather, as I have said in messages for many years, my desire is not to answer your questions, but instead to question your answers.

What does it feel like to live an existence with no judgement, no guilt, no shame, no sin consciousness, no sin nature? What does it sound like to abide in the rest of the living Word?...

Paul's life was never dull. First appearing in the New Testament as a violent enemy of Christ, Paul later went on to not only put his faith in the risen Lord but to pen thirteen letters of the New Testament—in the midst of being beaten, shipwrecked, snakebitten, imprisoned, and chased out of town.

"You won’t like this book. Ecclesiastes is gloomy, skeptical, and irreverent. It is caustic and drolly splenetic. It is unapologetically human. It refuses to abet our hunger for clean narratives and happy endings. It is a hopeless book. Insisting on life’s futility, the world’s capriciousness, and God’s inscrutability, it deliberately cultivates despair. It sees such bone-deep hopelessness as the only cure for what ails us. Ecclesiastes is a hard book full of hard sayings. It is an anvil against which our hearts must be hammered. No wonder we avoid it. But the cost of avoidance is ...
