Book Review - "Harm’s Spiritual Struggle Embodies the Christian Life"
This Civil War novel is an excellent book for both young people and adults to read. Its Christian perspective from a first-person point-of-view reminds us again how the Christian life is not always easy. Spiritual dangers attack the elect on every side, no matter what time period they live in. Yet God continually gives us strength by His Holy Spirit to persevere until the end.
Candace, Queen of Ethiopia
There are not many records about Candace Amantitere, but we can learn a lot about her rule in Meroe by what the Bible tells us about the Ethiopian eunuch himself (probably her Minister of Finance: “he had the charge of all her treasure,” Acts 8:27). Let’s think about what the eunuch had just been doing when he appears on the scene in Acts. He had completed a 1500-mile journey north, in a chariot, to Jerusalem, to observe a Jewish holiday at the temple. Now, why would he have done that?
Book Review - "Salvation in the Preaching of the Word"
I think that reading this book is a great reminder and in-depth proof of what our doctrine of salvation is and why it is true based on Scripture. To know our doctrine of salvation is not only important for our daily Christian life, but knowing about the false interpretation of "whosoever will may come" that is easily found in the world opens us up to opportunities to witness to those around us about the truth of salvation and encourage them to come to the pure preaching of the gospel!
Assyria (3): Nineveh
Located on the east bank of the Tigris River in northern Iraq, Mosul has a population of about 1.8 million. But what connects Mosul to us as we study biblical history is what’s located on the other side of the Tigris River. In the middle of the urban sprawl of Mosul, west of the Tigris, and underneath dusty roads and forgotten fields, lie the ruins of that great city, Nineveh.
Assyria (2): The Kings
Today, we will zoom our lens in quite a bit closer and concentrate on the third stage of Assyria's history, known as the Neo-Assyrian Empire. This period begins in 912 B.C. and ends with the empire's demise in 609 B.C. We know the most about this era because this period coincides with the history of Judah and Israel given in the books of Kings and Chronicles. Let’s look at the Assyrian kings who played a prominent role in this Bible history.
