The Goodness and Severity of God


Book Description

The Goodness and Severity of God succinctly portrays these two aspects of God’s character and provides an excellent guide for attaining God’s goodness and being spared from His severity. With the love of so many growing cold and deception abounding, it is vital that we be able to determine our standing on God’s pathway of holiness, so that like Daniel, our life would be approved of the Lord and we would stand in our appointed place in heaven for all eternity.

The Severity of God


Book Description

This book explores the role of divine severity in the character and wisdom of God, and the flux and difficulties of human life in relation to divine salvation. Much has been written on problems of evil, but the matter of divine severity has received relatively little attention. Paul K. Moser discusses the function of philosophy, evidence and miracles in approaching God. He argues that if God's aim is to extend without coercion His lasting life to humans, then commitment to that goal could manifest itself in making human life severe, for the sake of encouraging humans to enter into that cooperative good life. In this scenario, divine agapē is conferred as free gift, but the human reception of it includes stress and struggle in the face of conflicting powers and priorities. Moser's work will be of great interest to students of the philosophy of religion, and theology.




God in His Own Image


Book Description

"Someone once noted that God made us in His image, and ever since we have tried to do God a favor by making Him in our image." It’s easy to speak to others about the Jesus who cared for the poor, healed the sick, and preached love and justice for the least of these. But what about the God who tells the Israelites to wage war and kill entire people groups? Or threatens exile and then delivers? Or sends people to hell? Can these really be the same God? The simple answer is, yes. God in His Own Image takes you on a journey through the Bible exploring God’s true nature. You’ll study instances of great mercy and great severity, and by the end, you’ll begin to see why both God’s compassion and his wrath are necessary, important, and even beautiful. Get to know the God who is both Lion and Lamb, both Judge and Father, both kind and severe, and perfect in every way.

Romans (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament)


Book Description

This substantive evangelical commentary on Romans by a leading biblical scholar is one of the most popular in the award-winning BECNT series (more than 25,000 copies sold) and has been praised as a great preaching commentary. This new edition, updated and revised throughout, reflects Thomas Schreiner's mature thinking on various interpretive issues. As with all BECNT volumes, this commentary features the author's detailed interaction with the Greek text, extensive research, thoughtful verse-by-verse exegesis, and a user-friendly design. It admirably achieves the dual aims of the series--academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility--making it a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers.




Luminescence, Volume 2


Book Description

What is found in this series, unveils an entirely different side of C.K. Barrett, a side one might never have known about if one had knowledge only of his famous commentaries and monographs. Herein lies a goodly selection of Kingsley’s sermons preached largely in small- and medium-sized Methodist churches in the Northeast of England, though often elsewhere in England and around the world. Fred Barrett was not the scholar his son was, but on close inspection, one can most definitely see the impact of the father on the son when it came to preaching. It seems right to include as many sermons from both of these men as we can in this series. One thing sorely lacking in much preaching these days is in-depth engagement with both the biblical text and one’s tradition and theology. The sermons in these volumes demonstrate what such preaching can look like. While the first volume presented sermons on the Gospels and Acts, this second volume covers the rest of the New Testament and extensive portions of the Old Testament.

How He Loves Me!


Book Description

There are three kinds of knowledge. The knowledge of the world, the knowledge of Scripture and the knowledge of God! The worthiest of these is the knowledge of God. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. (Philippians 3:8) Everything depends on this, including whether to gain eternal life or not (Joh. 17:3). I want to know God, not just simply to have the knowledge of Scripture. However, I didn’t really know God much although I was well versed in Scripture. I was always sorry and discontented about this. Then, recently, Bobby Conner, a world-renowned prophet, prophesied to me as follows. “You will continue to write many books. Next time, you will be writing a book about God’s glory and beauty. The revelation of God’s glory and beauty will be downloaded unto you. So, you will write about His glory and beauty.” [re-phrased] I’ve written over thirty books so far. However, a book dealing with the glory and beauty of God is a different matter. I had wanted to write a book on this subject from a long time ago. However, I couldn’t do so because I knew God only a little. So, when I was listening to the prophecy, I doubted, thinking ‘Will such a thing really happen? Will this be really possible?’ Then, on the week when I received the prophecy from Bobby Conner, I indeed learned many things about God. It got started as I read Roland Buck’s book, Angels on Assignment, and the knowledge of God came upon me throughout the time of Bobby Conner’s conferences. I felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to preach and publish a book with this, repeatedly and very strongly. So, I have written a book which is this one. Thus, please read this book very carefully and make sure to digest it. Then, all of you, like me, will be transformed to ones who really love the Lord, from ones who desire to love the Lord.
