Bible Commentary

"Creation and Fall" originated in lectures given by Dietrich Bonhoeffer at the University of Berlin in the winter semester of 1932-33 during the demise of the Weimar Republic and the birth of the Third Reich. In the course of these events, Bonhoeffer called his students to focus their attention on the word of God the word of truth in a time of turmoil. "Temptation" was written in 1937 and first published in 1953.

Genesis: Biblical Commentary Through Dialogue examines the Judeo-Christian origin stories through the eyes of a critic and an apologetic alike, finding common ground to derive lessons from the ancient tales.

A commentary on the gospel of John and the three epistles of John. The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.

This audiobook presentation on the biblical "Genesis Gap" study, also referred to as "The PreAdamic Creation", is presented in terms that can be understood by theologians and laypersons alike. It is a highly intriguing Bible subject - one of the most interesting contained within The Holy Scriptures. Why is the study important? Because it lends greatly to an understanding of what the evil spirits called "devils" are (the tempters of mankind) and where they came from.

The world is filled with counterfeits. And the church is not immune, as false ideas and doctrines can infect believers and congregations. So when it comes to spiritual teachers, messages, and movements, how can we tell fact from fiction? The answers are found in 2 Peter, 2 & 3 John, and Jude, where the apostles provide practical insights for discerning truth.

For centuries, Romans chapters 9 through 11 have sparked intense debates over predestination, election, and Israel’s place in God’s plan. Many argue that Paul teaches God predestines certain people for salvation and others for damnation, or that Israel has been replaced by the Christian church. But what if these interpretations miss the mark? This verse-by-verse commentary offers a fresh perspective, challenging traditional views and proposing that election is God’s call to service, not salvation.

If you love Jesus but are unhappy, disappointed, frustrated, disillusioned, or just plain burned-out with church or religion, I have good news for you. There is a problem with church, but it’s neither your fault nor God’s fault and you’re not required to “try harder” to fix it. Furthermore, you’re not alone. More and more evangelical Christians sense that church and religion are somehow at odds with a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. God has already given us the “way of escape.” His answer has always been hiding in plain sight in the New Testament.

Prepared to be awed by our God. The books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Malachi are viewed by Biblical scholars as the Minor Prophets. Yet the insights and messages contained within these books are anything but minor. These prophets offer a unique, firsthand view of an all-powerful God who longs to intimately connect with His people. This study examines their personal stories to discover how He interacts with our world in truly amazing ways.

For the majority of my fifty-seven years following Jesus, I have recorded my discoveries in a private spiritual journal. Over time, it grew into several notebooks that were eventually transferred to my computer. They contained various thoughts and insights that seemed important to my spiritual development. Some were pivotal, others less so, but I recorded them all, not knowing how God would use them in my life. All of the notes I recorded were meant for personal use, and as my way of showing God that I was paying attention.
