Is Jesus relevant to the sufferings of the helpless, the voiceless, those dying of hunger, those traumatized by violence, people with learning difficulties? In Matthew, we see Jesus to be a man on the frontline, battling against the forces that stop the non-poor from living generously, and the poorest of the poor living abundantly the way God intended. This is Jesus as one who in his very being is an expression of God's wrath against human beings...

Description
A Christian biblical apologetic presenting Jesus's claims about himself and the Bible's claims about Jesus that seemed to his hearers (and later to Bible readers) to be outrageous, and which make sense only by acknowledging that he is truly Lord.
Nineteen of those claims present a Biblical picture of who Jesus is, his Incarnation, his life, his teachings, his Atonement and Resurrection, his Church which he is building, his present ministry of forgiving...

JEHOVAH JIREH, the poem displayed on the cover, is among the most moving portions of scripture. If we close our eyes and "feel" the scene with our hearts, we see, not only the plan of salvation, but we "feel" the pain sin caused the very heart of God when He sacrificed His own son. What a love story! To paint that love story in poetic pastels is the purpose of THE GOSPEL IN VERSE. As one enjoys the beauty of perfect rhyme and meter my hope is that...

El Evangelio no es una religión. Debido a los esfuerzos de las sociedades occidentales por sistematizar los aspectos del culto cristiano, con el propósito de distinguirlo de las otras formas de adoración, el Evangelio ha adquirido matices religiosos donde los rituales culticos han cobrado más importancia que el mensaje mismo que la sustenta y le da vida. El Evangelio no es una religión, no subsiste para enseñarle al hombre y a la mujer a adorar...

The early Christians believed that when Jesus ascended into heaven, he had been installed and exalted as King, reigning as Lord of all. Today, however, we tend to view Christ's kingship as merely symbolic-like that of a contemporary British monarch. With sin and suffering, pain and brokenness, evil and injustice all around, how dare we proclaim that Jesus is reigning now. So we push his kingship off into the future when he returns. In The Unseen Real:...

This past April 14, 2016, Nita Raye and I celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary surrounded by our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, plus many good friends. The joy was overwhelming. The reflection on all those memories brought tears of rejoicing to our eyes, and we thanked and praised God for His many blessings.
Jesus was and is God, but for a time and a purpose, he put on the cloak of humanity and wept like we do for the suffering...

Historical Jesus asks two primary questions: What does "historical" mean? and How should we apply this to Jesus?
Anthony Le Donne begins with the unusual step of considering human perception-how sensory data from sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell are interpreted from the very beginning by what we expect, what we've learned, and how we categorize the world. In this way Le Donne shows how historical memories are initially formed. He continues with...
