The Parables of Jesus by William Barclay
This has previously been published under another title: And Jesus Said
Barclay’s writing style, at least in this book, is very informal and casual. It lends for easy reading and clear expression of his thoughts. He shows himself to be very knowledgable about ancient culture, and the culture [...]
I imagine that the Day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2 has been talked about amongst Christians since the historical event took place. What an amazing event! So much emotion was involved in that day for so many people involved I’m sure. Imagine, the disciples are still stunned that their teacher had died and been [...]
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
True - not false, in accordance to the actual state of affairs, reality
Honorable - deserving of [...]
John 17:1-3 - Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. This is eternal life, that [...]

God’s Indwelling Presence: The Holy Spirit in the Old & New Testaments
by James M. Hamilton, Jr.
This is a fantastically researched and written book. It was originally a thesis, and has now been published in book form. I hope to see more from this writer in the future. A good portion of the [...]
If asked to describe the coming Kingdom of God, how would you describe it? Perhaps you would talk about the end of wars and violence. Peace on earth extending even to the animal kingdom as arch rivals - wolf and lamb playing and resting together. The capitol city of Jerusalem will be exalted over the [...]
John 3:5 - Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
In the past I have heard John 3:5 explained in a unique way. When Jesus speaks of begin “born of water” he is speaking of the natural births [...]
Yes, you read that correctly - it says “Life is short. Get a divorce” and then provides the phone number for a law office. Divorce is common in our culture.
