Here's Hoping


Book Description

'Here's Hoping'. The title is tongue-in-cheek. By saying “here's hoping” we usually fake hope because in reality we are not that hopeful. It is spoken without much confidence or hope at all and betrays uncertainty. We say it as we cast our wants and wishes, without much conviction, into the winds of fortune and the whims of the future, but without any sense of a guarantee for the desired result. “Here's hoping” speaks of longing that is not firing on all cylinders, of a dream or desire that is likely to stay that way, unrealized and unrequited. When we say it, we do not think “cross my heart and hope to die”. That kind of vigorous assurance and commitment is not usually prompting the phrase. It is less about crossing the heart and more about crossing the fingers. It is less about surety and more about good luck. To say “here's hoping” is to prepare oneself for potential disappointment. Ironically, it is more an expression of hopelessness than hope. This book gives the reasons we can say "Here's hoping" with assured anticipation and confidence




Galatians & Ephesians


Book Description




Commentary on Ephesians


Book Description

Paul's Letter to the Ephesians amounts to a short course in theology. It has been hailed as "The Queen of the Epistles" because of its exalted and majestic teachings. Sound theology leads to spiritual stability, so that God's people would not be tossed here and there by every wind of doctrine.







One Man One Woman


Book Description

One Man One Woman takes an in-depth look at the marriage relationship of one man and one woman and how it reflects the beauty of Christs relationship with his church. One Man One Woman is a book about what was in Gods mind as he made the first man and the first woman and subsequently, how we can discover the closest relationship possible with both God and spouse. In this book, we explore how pornography, adultery, homosexuality, and judging one another breaks the oneness relationship and distracts us from focusing on what we should be focusing onthat is, spreading the Gospel and calling others to repentance and a turning away from sin. One Man One Woman is also about learning how to handle some of the many relationship challenges we face as imperfect beings living in an ever-corrupting world. While Christianity seemingly slumbers on, sexual identity is becoming a matter of subjective preference and choice rather than birthright and blessing. Traditional marriage is ever weakening under fire and conventional sex is taking a back seat to alternative sexual exploration. Consequently, divorce rates are accelerating, and Christian marriage values are succumbing into a minority view. But God had a plan in the beginning, and marriage was and still is an integral part of that plan. In the Gospel of John, Jesus uses an Eastern wedding custom when announcing he was leaving to prepare a place for you, thus signaling the beginning of the end, the impending wedding ceremony, and the imminent start of eternity with him. People, get readyJesus is returning soon!




Dispensationalism, Israel and the Church


Book Description

The relationship between Israel and the church is a crucial reference point in theology, especially in distinguishing between dispensational and nondispensational ways of thinking. The thesis of this book is that Israel and the church are distinct theological institutions that have arisen in the historical progress of divine revelation. But they are also related as successive phases of a redemptive program that is historically progressive and eschatologically converging. The approach to these issues here is neither polemical nor apologetic; rather, it anticipates a convergence among evangelical scholars in the recognition of both continuity and discontinuity in the Israel-church relationship. This book has three purposes: - To offer a contemporary dispensational treatment of that relationship through an exegetical examination of key texts with a focus on theological concerns - To foster genuine dialogue with nondispensational thinkers regarding major biblical themes tied to the plan of God - To identify the changes in dispensational thought that have developed since the publication of Charles Ryrie's book Dispensationalism Today in 1965




The Symbiotic Relationship


Book Description

Many people do not understand that we not only need "grace," but we also need the "law;" it can cause confusion. Consequently, we have two groups: • one that says all we need is “grace.” • while the other says all we need is the “law.” They both are wrong. We need “grace,” and we need the “law;” they go together. We need “grace” first, which is the blood of YAHUSHUA, to cleanse us from our sins because we did not keep the “law;” we transgressed the “law.” It is because we transgressed the “law” that we are given death. The Father sentenced us to death, this death being in the lake of fire, eternal death. All of creation was lost due to our sins, and we all have come short of the glory of YAHUAH; He sent His Son, YAHUSHUA, to shed His blood and to bring us out from under the death sentence. If transgressing the “law” got us in all of this trouble, then when YAHUSHUA came; sacrificed Himself and shed His blood, it caused us to have our past sins forgiven. This being the case, why would we continue to break the “law?” That is what got us in trouble in the first place. To avoid repeating this mistake, we must begin to keep the “law.” This book shows the importance of both; we need “grace” first and then the “law.” We will examine the writings of the Apostle Paul and see he was not speaking against the “law.” He was telling us because we had this death sentence hanging over our heads and we transgressed the “law” of YAHUAH: 1. Keeping the "law" is not going to help; 2. A "circumcision" is not going to help us; 3. Keeping the "Sabbath" day is not going to help us; 4. Keeping the "Feast days" will not help us. Those things are part of the “law” and we must do them but we have a problem coming out of the gate. We have transgressed the “law” of YAHUAH; therefore, we are “lawbreakers.” We need the blood to get back on track: on the road to righteousness and holiness, before our ELOHIM. There are many layers to unpack regarding “Grace and Law;” Get ready to dive deep into what will finally bring understanding to what it is all about. Remember, when it comes to whether we should keep the “law” and do away with “grace” or should we be under “grace” and do away with the “law?” We need them both. It is the blood of YAHUSHUA that justifies us and it is the “law” that will maintain our justification.
