The primary purpose for studying God's Word is to know the Lord and learn how to please Him. The aim of a devotional commentary is to help the reader pause and consider the deeper, life-related implications of the portion being read. What is God telling us about His character, emotions and attributes? How is His plan of salvation being displayed? How should we respond to His Word? Today, the Christian community sits atop a vast array of written resources,...

First and Second Samuel trace the lives of three Jewish men in the eleventh century B.C.: Samuel, the last of the judges and the first of the prophets; Saul, the first of the kings, but rejected by God; and David, the beloved shepherd-king. Hannah, whose name means grace, "asked of the Lord" (the meaning of Samuel's name) and received a male child who selflessly served the Lord's people his entire life. Saul's name means "asked for," but he was not,...

The overall theme of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon is succinctly stated in Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Concisely put, to know God is what knowledge means and such understanding should prompt fearful awe of Him. In his early years, Solomon's son learned that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom...

Kings and Chronicles cover the era of Israel's kings, which spans almost four centuries. Kings picks up with the last days of David, while Chronicles commences with the death of Saul, Israel's first king. Chronicles follows only the Davidic dynasty; references to Israel's kings occur only as a necessary part of the narrative. The writers of Kings and Chronicles had different objectives. The writer of Chronicles intended to encourage disheartened Jews...

With an engaging and accessible style, the author unpacks the teaching of these books in their historical contexts, while making pertinent applications to modern believers. He quotes some of the best Bible expositors of the past (Matthew Henry, Hamilton Smith, H.L. Rossier among others), and also brings the fruit of his own study to bear on the text....

Every religion claims divine authorship for its "holy book." But when, one asks whether the claims to divine authorship are supported by history, archeology and sound scholarship, the answer is usually a resounding "no!" But, is this the case with the Bible? Is the Bible simply another book mixing history and historical fiction? Is the Bible mythology or Divine revelation? This small booklet brings together the facts of history, archeology, cosmology...

In Moses' day the Israelites failed to obtain God's rest in Canaan because of disbelief (Heb. 4:4-6). Under Joshua's leadership, the Israelites did enter the land and after seven years of conquest obtained God's rest, but then failed to secure their inheritance in faith after receiving it. Consequently, the rest Jehovah had for them was never fully realized and, in time, was lost. The writer of Hebrews uses their failure as an exhortation, "Let us...

Like the Olympic torchbearers, Christians are also called to pass a torch from generation to generation. The light of biblical Christianity shines in the world today because faithful believers through the ages dedicated themselves to the accurate transfer of doctrine to new Christians and then equipped them to live out this truth. This is our legacy, our calling in Christ, and the best inheritance we can leave our children. There is no greater privilege...

“Nexus” speaks of a connection, which links two or more things together. The Evil Nexus investigates seven ways that Christians can, often unwittingly, be unnaturally linked with the devil to accomplish his wicked agenda. Paul sharply rebuked believers in Galatia for their destructive conduct towards each other (Gal. 5:15). Regrettably, this onslaught continues to this day. The Christian community is the only army on earth, which regularly permits...

This book deals with a much-neglected portion of God's Word which looks at the vitally important themes of headship and the glory of God. The author has not avoided issues and has included thorough research both from Church history and the original language of the New Testament. The section dealing with the objections to the head covering reveals the desperate attempts that have been made in recent times to avoid the clear implications of the 1 Corinthians...

Numbers records the wilderness experience of God's covenant people, who are moving towards receiving the promises of God in Canaan, despite their failures and unbelief. It is a humbling story as far as man is concerned, but also a blessed and beautiful account of God's exhaustless patience and mercy, as He works to refine His people. Deuteronomy has more occurrences of the expression "the Lord our God" than any other book in the Bible. The frequency...

The Christian community sits upon a vast resource of vintage exposition, exegetic and apologetic writings from a host of writers who have long since been ushered into the Lord's presence. Most of these books are out of print and some are difficult to obtain. In general, these writings sustain a devotional depth and a Christ-centered attraction that is void in much of today's Christian literature. The author has endeavored to include some of the best...

"The flesh" describes the natural man. God has no program to change the flesh. Rather He brings in something new: "and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). A new struggle is brought to our attention. It is no longer the new nature or the believer striving for mastery over sin in the body, it is the Holy Spirit striving against the old nature. The little boy coming home from school was beaten up by a big bully. He was on the bottom,...

The book of Ezekiel conveys God's jealous anger over Israel's idolatry, His righteous judgments to purify her of spiritual harlotry, and His future intentions of restoring the Jewish nation to Himself and fulfilling all His covenants to her. Ezekiel contrasts God's loyalty with Israel's infidelity as an adulterous wife. God has not abandoned His covenant people of old, He has an agenda for restoring them to a position of honor and blessing. Ezekiel's...

Many Christians have read the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations, but few (including myself, until recently) have made these a topic of thorough study. Some contend that the prophetic narrative of Jeremiah and its epilogue, Lamentations, have Jewish historical significance only and no application for the Church today. Others choose to merely, skim these texts because their "doom and gloom" format is distressing, they may glean little from these books...

It was refreshing and encouraging to read a book, that did not focus on man's needs or a "how to" method for success. Behold the Saviour focuses on the Lord Jesus: His Godhood, human goodness and glories as revealed in the multi-faceted presentation of Holy Scriptures. For when we behold Him in His glory we are "changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Cor. 3:18). -Anonymous Pre-Publication Reviewer (to...

What general trends are consistently found in humanized religion? What advantage does biblical Christianity have over the religions of the world? Why should I trust Jesus Christ alone to secure eternal life? These questions and many others will be posed and rationally...

The greatest benefits God has conferred on human life, fatherhood, motherhood, childhood, home, become the greatest curse if Jesus Christ is not the head. - Oswald Chambers Most of the Christian children's ministry today is aimed at raising "moral" children. The teaching of right and wrong is necessary, but this agenda will fall pitifully short of producing "spiritual" children. Children must develop morally, physically, spiritually, emotionally,...
