Fire in Her Bones: A Biblical Defense of Women as Preachers and Pastors is an attempt to help conservative Christians embark on an honest and critical examination of the traditional restrictions placed on women in the life of the church. To that end, the author uses a conservative/traditional hermeneutical approach to the Scriptures to make a case for an egalitarian model of ministry.

Christ is the central figure of Christianity. It follows that He is also the central figure of Christian Scripture. As such, all Scripture testifies of Him. This point is almost unanimously accepted among Evangelicals. The disagreements begin to appear when we discuss how Scripture testifies of Christ. This is particularly true concerning the Old Testament. In his book, Preaching Christ from the Old Testament, Pastor Brad Creech examines three popular approaches. They are the “First Testament Priority Approach”, the “Redemptive-Historical, Christocentric Approach”, and the “...

Who needs revival? Every at one time or another will need a least some measure of reviving in their lives. Life has a way of weighing you down and draining your spiritual resources. But David said, there is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God. Revival is not a mystery or a miracle, but revival is God's answer and response to a hungry soul, who will honestly admit that they need a fresh fire and a fresh anointing.

Preaching is simple. It can be defined as, “Speaking God’s word to people.” However, preaching is also complex. It is both an art and a science. It is both a gift and a task. It will bring out the best or the worse in people. In this primer, Pastor Tim Rupp walks the student-preacher step-by-step how to write and deliver a biblically based expository sermon.

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote the epistle to the Colossians, refuting all false claims about God. Paul reaffirms to the original audience and the global Church that Christ is preeminent. Paul sharply rebuked every influence that attempted to infiltrate the Church. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, Paul would not allow anything to compromise the truth. The Church at Colossae dealt with Gnosticism, paganism, mysticism, Greek philosophies, and Old Testament practices of the Law fulfilled by Christ. Yet, none of these could withstand the truth of God’s Word. In ...

On March 13, 2016, I began an expository sermon series based on the Psalms. By the time I finish preaching them and writing the books, I will publish nine volumes. I desire that this, and all subsequent books, help you see yourself in the lives of the various psalmists as they share their ups and downs and what they did to glorify God in all things. My prayer is that what I’ve discovered will bless and expand the kingdom of God. The Psalms serve as a seamless link between the Law and the Prophets while pointing to the coming Messiah. They reveal the whole spectrum of emotions and how they...

Praise, worship, thankfulness, and blessing Almighty God fill the lyrics of the final sixteen Psalms. But pain, prison, persecution, doubt, fear, and feeling overwhelmed are also woven into the psalmists’ words. Through it all, God protects, provides, and gives peace to His own. He is the Creator and able to do the impossible. God and His kingdom are everlasting, and His mercy endures forever. Therefore, if you ever need a reminder of why God is worthy of the highest praise, read Psalms 135-150. My title for this book stems from Psalm 142:5-7, which is the exact middle of the final ...

It is often noted that Psalm 118:8, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man,” is the middle verse of the Bible. While one could debate the details of that claim, it is certain that this volume of Bishop Myron Powell’s series highlights the Psalms that are not only at the very central core of the Bible, but that equally must be hidden within the very core of our spiritual being. With masterful wisdom, Bishop Powell not only takes us on an incredible journey through Psalms 99-118, but he also gives us the opportunity to see the entirety of God’s work of ...

The book of Ephesians consists of two equal parts. The first part is doctrinal with its theological gems of truth, detailing what we believe. The second part is practical, detailing how and why we practice our faith daily. One of the overarching themes of Ephesians emphasizes new life in Christ. Born-again believers are the body of Christ on earth and will be His bride in His everlasting kingdom. This experience betroths the church, preparing her to be His bride in eternity.

Do you love the Lord? That is an important question! Our Lord, Jesus Christ, asked Peter, “Peter do you love me? Why is your love for God something that we need to discuss?

In this book taken from a sermon by Jamie Buckingham, Jamie states there are no prophets or prognosticators for the future. There are only weathervanes for the present. Nobody knows where the wind is blowing. Jesus said you cannot tell where it is going. Nobody knows. The best we can do is to hoist a weathervane and say, “This is the way it’s blowing today.” There are no prophets for the future. There are only weathervanes for the present. Others, on the other hand, have cranked up wind machines and are doing it their own way. I know a lot of people in ministry today who have built ...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830 in the so-called "burned-over district" of upstate New York, which was producing seers and prophets daily. Most of the new creeds flamed out; Smith's would endure, becoming the most significant homegrown religion in American history. In American Zion Benjamin E. Park presents a fresh, sweeping account of the Latter-day Saints.

Sleep is necessary for your body to rest, for relaxation and to have a break. Sleep is also important to improve your productivity and your performance. However, there are times when it is inappropriate to sleep, and there are also times when it is inappropriate to sleep for too long. When you are asleep your eyes are closed. You no longer have your sight and your vision. To be asleep, therefore, is to lose your sight and your vision. To be asleep is to lose awareness and knowledge of your surroundings. To be asleep is to be unaware of danger. That is why God says that you must awake from ...
