Two Rules For Life In Mark 12:29 to 31 Jesus said, "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, Oh Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." God's laws are not tough. They can be reduced to two simple rules for life: LOVE GOD AND LOVE OTHERS When you are uncertain about what to do, ask yourself which course of action best demonstrates your love for God and your love for others.

Is the Bible God’s Word? Yes. Is Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, and the only Mediator between a sinful people and a perfect, holy, and righteous God? Yes! Is the Christian faith supported by reasonable, provable, historical, archaeological, and philosophical evidence? Yes, yes, and yes! The word apologetics comes from two Greek words, apo (out from) and logos (logic), and it literally means to give out a logical defense (apologia). In Christianity, it means to give out logical reasons for our faith, to defend the truth of Scripture, and to give reasons for believing in Christ. Like Paul, I am “set for the defense (apologia) of the gospel” (Philippians 1:17). Like Peter, I am “ready always to give an answer (apologia)” to everyone who asks why I trust Christ (1 Peter 3:15). Like Jude, I am prepared to earnestly contend (epi-agnízomai: agonize, fight) for the faith (Jude 3). I have written this book to defend and contend for the Christian faith; I want to let others know why I believe the Bible is God’s Word and Jesus is God’s Son (2 Timothy 3:16; John 1:34).
In a busy world surrounded by all sorts of distractions, it becomes an uphill task to strike a balance between our work, family, and social life. Through this hustle and bustle, we find ourselves struggling to stay connected to God through His Word on a daily basis. That’s where Hidden Treasures can come in handy. In Proverbs 3:4-5, the writer exhorts us to seek God’s wisdom as if they were hidden treasures so that we understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. With that goal in mind, each day’s devotional draws your attention to a short passage or a few verses in the Bible. While some of the stories, events, and characters from these passages may be well-known, the information presented is meant to help you gain fresh insights from the already-familiar sections of Scripture. We all know that Lazarus was raised from the dead but now find out how Martha missed out on her miracle. And, read on if you’ve been curious why Jesus cursed the fig tree even though it was not the season for figs! Hidden Treasures will inspire you to love the Lord deeper, make your faith stronger, seek His counsel and comfort while you navigate life’s trials, and challenge you to become more Christ-like with each passing day.
The Gospels are the life-transforming accounts of Jesus when He walked on this earth. They are fascinating, chronicling His sacrificial death and resurrection, powerful miracles, compassionate interactions, and authoritative teaching. But some things are difficult to understand at first glance. Like, what did Jesus mean when He said, “Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.” (Mark 9:50)? Or what did He mean when referring to a winnowing fork when discussing judgment? Or why do we have only four Gospels? Christopher Arulanand and Dr Santha Christopher have mined the depths of the Gospels to provide readers with deeper insights, answer their questions and expand their knowledge of the Gospels. They provide a rich cultural and literary background that sheds light on Jesus’ teachings and clarifies essential spiritual principles. All of this is done in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format. Find answers to your questions and ask new questions in this insightful resource from seasoned ministry leaders.
