New World Bible

According to the headlines, the world is falling apart! Where's God in all of the change, conflict, and chaos? Pastor David Jeremiah offers culturally relevant and biblically accurate insights on terrorism, radicalized Islam, the new Russia, the debt crisis, and more to reveal how God's hand is at work in his unfolding plan for humanity. No one can afford to ignore these warnings. From prophetic clues in Scripture to an understanding of the power of Christ in all believers, this book directs us on a clear path forward.

Piper has gathered many of Jesus' demands from the four Gospels and puts the demands in a redemptive, historical context, then concisely examines each. The result is an accessible introduction for thoughtful inquirers and new believers, as well as meditative meat for veteran believers who want to know Jesus better.

Cultural conceptions of Jesus today present a man who is virtually unrecognizable. He is not known, above all, for whom he loves or how he loves. In contrast to this misconfiguration, the Jesus of the Gospels is far more beautiful, and loves more broadly and deeply, than many have imagined. The humble, suffering love of Jesus is uncanny, radiantly beautiful, and in the end transformative. There is nothing like it across the religious landscape or current ideological offerings. In Jesus the Stranger, Ken Collins invites the listener to see Jesus in a new way.

From the firmament above to the foundations beneath, from the two great lights set in the sky to the faithful stars that declare God’s glory, this book unveils a worldview rooted in divine revelation, not ...

This book welcomes listeners to appreciate the origins of Christianity within the Roman world in which early Christianity got its first foothold. It does that by immersing listeners in the life and culture of two thriving first-century towns—Pompeii and Herculaneum. Those towns (destroyed in the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE) act as showpieces of the world into which the early Christian movement was spreading.

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us.” —2 Corinthians 5:20 In a world increasingly marked by division, hostility, and wounded relationships, the call to reconciliation has never been more urgent—or more beautiful. In Ambassadors of Reconciliation, Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt draws from a lifetime of ministry, personal experience, and deep scriptural insight to explore the heart of the Gospel: God reconciling the world to Himself through Christ, and entrusting us with the ministry of reconciliation. With clarity and compassion, Schmitt ...

"Our Father, who art in heaven...." The opening words of the Lord's Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history. Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord's Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God's reign over all things in heaven and on earth.

Why should the beliefs and practices of the New Testament writers be important to sincere Bible-believing Christians today? Because they received “the faith once delivered to the saints.” (Jude 3) So to the degree that we believe and practice what they believed and practiced, to that degree we have the original Christian faith.

How should Christians conduct themselves in an increasingly secular society? Jesus answered this troubling question on the eve of His death with some of the most poignant, powerful teachings in His entire ministry. During those hours, Jesus taught His apostles and, consequently, all believers throughout history, How to Survive in a World of Unbelievers.

Ecclesiastes: Meaning in a Meaningless World is a journey through one of the Bible’s most enigmatic and powerful books. With poetic reflections, personal stories, and pastoral insight, Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt helps readers wrestle with life’s hardest questions: Is there purpose in my pain? Why does injustice persist?

The First Book of Peter is a book of the New Testament. The author presents himself as Peter the Apostle. The ending of the letter includes a statement that implies that it was written from "Babylon", which is possibly a reference to Rome. The letter is addressed to the "chosen pilgrims of the diaspora" in Asia Minor suffering religious persecution.

This book is exactly what the name says, the secret war raging upon Protestants. It is deliberately and purposely only on Protestants even though many Catholics and others died too and will die in the future. It is being waged by the Jesuit Order of the Roman Catholic Church on unsuspecting Protestants and others (all heretics in their eyes and thus to be murdered according to their own oath that is quoted in this and many of my other books). “How do you make war on God?” It is predicted in the Bible: Revelation 17:14 KJV: “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall ...

Revelation: Disarming the Most Dangerous Book in the World presents overwhelming evidence, both from history and scripture, that the events of Revelation have all been fulfilled and have no direct relevance to anyone living today. Part one details the troubled history of John's Revelation and the ways in which lives have been destroyed by the misapplication of this dangerous book. Part two is a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the Book of Revelation, explaining its mysterious symbols in the light of Old Testament prophecy.

In Resurrecting Justice, theologian Douglas Harink invites listeners to rediscover Romans as a treatise on justice. He traces Paul's thinking on this theme through a sequential reading of the book, finding in each passage facets of the gospel's primary claim - that God accomplishes justice in the death and resurrection of Jesus Messiah. By rendering forms of the Greek word dikaiosyne as "just" or "justice", Harink emphasizes the inseparability of personal, social, and political uprightness that was clear to Paul but is obscured in modern translations.

The story of Jesus as the writers of the New Testament meant it to be told. Astonishingly unlike the New Testament as it has been handed down to us today, this remarkable new translation makes the story come alive as never before. Impelled by the latest archaeological and historical discoveries, eminent scholar Hugh J. Schonfield has returned the New Testament to its own time and place, relating its documents to contemporary literature, customs and beliefs. The first truly historical translation with no theological motivation or devotional purpose, The Original New Testament rediscovers the...

Each year, the Jehovah's Witnesses spend about 2 billion hours evangelizing their communities around the world in 357 languages. Many think that they know the Jehovah's Witnesses, but the sources are usually twofold: (1) They are misinformed Bible scholars who have read books and websites by disgruntled ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. (2) They have read books or comments by disgruntled ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. Herein you will learn a lot that you may have not known and learn some things about how to better evangelize them, or if you are even up to evangelize them. Moreover, we will use some ...
