This text was not written to show how much better the godly kings were than the ungodly kings. It was not written to try to show that God had loved the children of Israel more than the people of all of the other nations. To the contrary, this text was written to show that, in some instances, the godly kings did some things that were just as bad as any of the ungodly kings of Israel. It was written to show that the Lord loved the people who opposed the children of Israel just like He loved the children of Israel. The notion that He had showed special favor to one type of people over another ...

This text was written in response to a question that I was asked at a Wednesday night Bible study at Wallers Baptist Church in Partlow, Virginia. The question, which was asked by the church's pastor, was in regard to the obvious enthusiasm that some of the saints of God seem to have for the Lord's work. The study that evening was in Acts 13:13, which talks about the Apostle Paul's first Bible-recorded missionary journey. It says, "Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem." So when the company ...

In my adult Sunday school class on December 12, 1982, I spoke to the class about the Theory of Evolution and expressed my beliefs about how that theory will lead to the Tribulation. Remarkable as such a statement may sound, I believe it to be the truth. So I have written this book to retrace the steps that led to that lecture. I hope to relate, in this summary, not just a review of that Sunday morning class, but also to provide a trail of my research. Perhaps, after reading these pages, my reader will be led to conclude, as I already have, that the end may be much nearer than we think. ...

This short book has been written to share a couple of very important spiritual truths. The first, called the Eternality of Bible Truth, maintains that every word of the Bible has always been true even before it was written. The second truth is that a person does not have to know the literal name of Jesus or anything about Him to be saved. That simple statement is not meant to sound heretical. Those words are also not meant to deny the Lordship of Christ or His sacrificial death on the cross at Calvary. The real message that is being conveyed by those words is that a person does not have to ...

In writing this book about marriage, I feel that the Lord has been preparing me to do this work for many years and in many ways. First, I have been blessed to have been married for fifty-three years. So the Lord has given me the chance to learn a little something about relationships. Second, I have been blessed along with my wife, Linda, by the challenges of raising five children and having seen seventeen grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren born into this world. That means that the Lord has let me learn a little bit about family. Third, I have been saved for almost fifty-seven ...

Job Seeker Jammy affirms the simple principle that job applicants perform well when they’re given the tools they need. The problem is that most job seekers don’t know how to present themselves in a way that allows prospective employers to clearly see their skills and experience. They’re also not prepared for their interviews and not well-versed in negotiating a salary.

This third edition of this commentary begins with Paul's final days of freedom before being arrested in Jerusalem. The timeframe was at the end of his third Bible-recorded missionary journey when he was going there to attend the celebration of Pentecost. He also went to take some financial aid to the church in Jerusalem. While there, he participated in a Nazarite ritual with four men who had taken a vow. Following that ritual, he went to the synagogue with those same four men. But as soon as some of the Jewish people saw him, they immediately accused him and attacked him. Given the ...

Incredibly this is the fourth book that I have written about how a person should live his or her life. None of the books are exactly alike even though all of them are similar. Also it was never planned to write four different books that are basically talking about similar things. But that is just how things have happened. The first book was written to tell people how they can live a blessed life. The inspiration for that topic comes from John 10:10, which says "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have ...

This is a text that I originally started work on in 2016. But I set it aside because I did not know exactly how I wanted to present the seven roles of a pastor. Those roles are elder, bishop, shepherd, preacher, teacher, servant, and messenger. An elder is a man of spiritual maturity who teaches and leads the flock of God. A bishop involves overseeing the needs of the flock. The shepherd cares for the flock. The preacher proclaims the gospel message to those in the assembly. The teacher explains the whole Bible. The servant ministers to the needs of others. The messenger delivers the ...

A Treatise about Education from a Christian perspective

Two of the books of the scriptures that should be studied daily are the book of Proverbs and the book of Psalms. The book of Proverbs will show one how to be biblically wise in the things of the Lord. That book is primarily for spiritual guidance in this existence. But even an ungodly person will prosper by studying and applying its principles. In the same sense, the book of Psalms will also benefit anyone who studies it on a regular basis. The reason that the psalms are so valuable is because they are experiential. One can read exactly how David had felt while he was running from a king ...

„Louisiana!“, schrie Constance Mercier, als sie aus dem Traum erwachte. Eine verschlafen wirkende Asiatin, die neben ihr auf dem breiten Bett lag, schaute sie verwundert an. Es war Nicky, Constances Bettgespielin für diese Nacht. „Wow, hast du mich erschreckt! Was träumst du für einen Mist?“ Nicky deutete durch das Dachfenster der Loft-Wohnung. Im Hintergrund konnte man Hochhäuser bei Nacht erkennen.

Samuel und Stephanie standen unweit des bestialischen Mordes und beobachteten das grauenvolle Treiben des menschlichen Monsters. Stephanies türkisfarbene Augen blickten ernst und sie sagte: »Mir ist nicht wohl bei dem Gedanken, was der Plan mit dieser Bestie vorhat. Und … sind wir hier wirklich in einer Geschichte, an dessen Ende alles gut werden wird?« Samuel zuckte mit den Schultern. »Das weiß nur Gott. Die Menschen haben größtenteils die Augen vor dem Übernatürlichen verschlossen und das alte Wissen aus jenen Tagen vergessen. Es wird Zeit, dass wir ihnen die Augen wieder öffnen.«

Zuzu met her best friend Cash on the first day of college, and nothing was ever the same. Tall, witty, and popular, his friendship represented a kind of belonging for Zuzu, who had always felt like an outsider growing up mixed race in her rural hometown.

Yet Zuzu is haunted by the choices that have shaped her.

An incisive, culturally observant analysis of the evolving mores, manners and taboos of social justice (“anti-racist”) orthodoxy, which has profoundly influenced how we think about diversity and freedom of expression, often with complex or paradoxical consequences.

Ihr Schützling hatte das Telefonat mit Thomas Bendermann beendet und war nachdem sie über die gesagten Worte nachgedacht hatte, innerlich gestärkt.

Stephanie Moody, die Speerspitze der Exekutive, stand unerkannt und unsichtbar im Raum war mit der Entwicklung ihres blonden Schützlings sehr zufrieden.

Mit Vorworten von Claudia Appel und Richard Neubersch Das "Danke" ist nach Einschätzung von Thomas A.M. Windelschmidt das wichtigste Wort zum gesund und glücklich sein. Diese im ersten Moment etwas überraschende Aussage erklärt der Autor sehr anschaulich und nachvollziehbar im vorliegenden Buch. Das Unterbewusste (oftmals auch Unterbewusstsein genannt) steuert nicht nur das vegetative Nervensystem und fast alle Körperfunktionen, sondern es greift massiv in das Denken, Fühlen und Erleben des Menschen ein.
