"How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. (Luke 24:25-27)
There's a selfish part of me that wanted to write everything that I know at this point, and the amateur in me wanted to write it all in one book, on the...

This work began about fourteen years ago, when I became troubled about the fall of man in Genesis 3, so I began talking to God about this incident, because I didn't understand how all the evils that befell mankind had occurred from such a short conversation between the serpent and Eve. As time passed and after years of debates and arguments with God about this, not only did He give, me an understanding of the fall and all its ills, He also gave me...

In spite of the availability of God's amazing grace to all persons all over the world, there are many, even Christians, who still fail to make full use of it. They continue to struggle in every area of their lives even though they have complete access to the supernatural provisions of God available in His grace. Sam presents a well-thought out case for vigorously pursuing a real and personal encounter with God's grace both for Christians and non-Christians...

Wells of Living Waters is a message of the Holy Spirit for the church to remain strongly rooted in the foundational truths inherent in God's Word. Its purpose is to bring back those foundational teachings that Satan has been...

Most theologians believe that in the human life of Jesus of Nazareth, we encounter God. Yet how the divine and human come together in the life of Jesus still remains a question needing exploring. The Council of Chalcedon sought to answer the question by speaking of one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in divinity and also perfect in humanity, the same truly God and truly a human being. But ever since Chalcedon, the theological...

Jesus tells us that if one desires to be his disciple, they must "deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" (Mark 8:34). But what does it mean to take up your cross, and how can we do this? The apostle Paul said that he "desired to know nothing...except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2) and elsewhere even claimed to "have been crucified with Christ" (Galatians 2:20). How can one join Paul and know Jesus in his Crucifixion?

"Let there be light!"
Our ability to see is indispensable to our being able to navigate the world in which we live. Our vision is very precious to us. Yet there is vision that goes beyond physical sight. It is the ability to see and perceive life as it truly is. This vision is even more valuable to us than our physical sight, for it enables us to understand life. It empowers us to deal with life situations in wisdom. Simply put, the proper perspective...

God's ultimate plan before Creation included a radical change at the Cross. To enact this dramatic change, God performed two important acts on the Day of Pentecost. First, the heavenly Father sent the Holy Spirit to place believers in Christ (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 1:4). Second, the Father had placed all sinners in Christ at the Cross (Rom. 6:6; Gal. 2:20); when Christ died, all sinners died to their old life and could now be saved by simply believing...

The Bible says that God has written a mystery! Now if a human had written a mystery we would expect him to keep us in suspense with plot twists and an invincible arch-villain, but we think that God just writes nice stories about nice people. However, as C.S. Lewis implied, He's a good God, but He's not a tame God. Since nobody tells us there is a mystery, we don't look for it and even doctors of theology don't see it as God waves it right in front...

"Images increasingly saturate our world, making present to us what is distant or obscure. Yet the power of images also arises from what they do not make present-from a type of absence they do not dispel. Joining a growing multidisciplinary conversation that rejects an understanding of images as lifeless objects, this book offers a theological meditation on the ways images convey presence into our world. Just as Christ negates himself in order to manifest...

Jesus Christ is the most written about and proclaimed figure of all of history. Why, then, are people so confused as to who He is? Why are Christian churches redefining Him to suit the culture and their own preferences? This book challenges the idea of a Jesus remake. It is the author's understanding of Him from well over sixty-five years of a personal relationship and study. It aims toward those who have given up on Jesus, because the portrayal of...

Those situations would trigger the birth of the messiah for the last time to prepare mankind for Judgment Day. The messiah would rule with an iron rod, turn the swords into plowshares, end war, overthrow the Lawless One,...

From its English publication in 1973, Jurgen Moltmann's The Crucified God garnered much attention, and it has become one of the seminal texts of twentieth-century theology. Following up on his groundbreaking Theology of Hope, The Crucified God established the cross as the foundation for Christian hope. Moltmann's dramatic innovation was to see the cross not as a problem of theodicy, but instead as an act of ultimate solidarity, between God and humanity....
