The original eight volumes now complete and unabridged in four! "Though scholarly in the true sense of the word, this work can also be read and understood by those not formally trained in theology." --Charles C. Ryrie
In 2011 Dr. Pearl T. Morgan-Bell received an e-mail with a list of inspirational texts organized alphabetically. From there, the Holy Spirit guided her to write Reflections and Meditations: An Annual Devotional. Dr. Bell covers the alphabet fourteen times throughout the year in the devotional, featuring a keyword in the daily Bible text, starting with A and ending with Z. Through this technique, she presents the reader with new topics each day, ranging from last-day events to guidance for parents and children to promises for those struggling with the heartaches of life. Our walk with God should model how children learn their ABCs—one step at a time. Reflections and Meditations is an eye-opening and uplifting devotional that will point you toward Heaven and lead you along in your Christian journey.
"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."-1 John 1:5 Is there really a God who is composed of love and true light? Are catastrophes, natural disasters, and calamities-what we consider acts of God-examples of God's justice or the result of spiritual warfare? The True Justice of a Just God: Discovering God's Redemptive Plan for Mankind takes a deep look into God's very nature to answer these and many other questions about God from the past and present and through eternity. With an in-depth exploration of the Scriptures, author Lawrence A. Panarello offers you biblically based answers that will surprise even Christians familiar with the Old and New Testaments. Panarello uniquely combines the ideas from Genesis to Revelation to share God's redemptive plan for mankind, a lesson certain to thrill those seeking God's true nature. The True Justice of a Just God will lighten your heart today and give you a lively hope for tomorrow, allowing you to view God and life from a heavenly perspective and discover peace in your soul.
Man was called to dominion (Gen. 1:26-28), and to establish his reign over the world under God. By his fall, man introduced the reign of death into the world, and as long as he remains in the Fall, sin reigns in him unto death, both in time and eternity. Christ, however, by His grace and the gift of righteousness, enables man to reign in this world, and to reign through righteousness in time and eternity. Salvation means reigning. As formerly rebellious slaves, we are now established in kingship, and described as "more than conquerors" (Rom. 8:37) in Christ, because we are also kings. The full meaning of salvation cannot be understood apart from the fact of reigning. The multiple use of the word "reign" in Romans makes clear the centrality of reigning in the doctrine of redemption. To defer this fact to another world is a false separation into two alien realms - one (the material) surrendered to one god, and the other (spiritual) reserved for the other god. Neither is Biblical. St. Paul is emphatic: we "reign in life." The Biblical doctrine of salvation requires it.
365 Ways to Know God provides one devotional reading for each day of the year, including a key verse, devotional message, prayer, Scripture references for further study, and a key thought. As you read and pray through each devotional, exploring a different name of God each day, you will learn more about God's character. You will begin to know Him more intimately and live closer to Him than ever before. When you choose to go deeper and study the suggested Bible reading, you will develop even more understanding of the name assigned for that day. Get ready to be transformed through this devotional study as you draw near to God. “Elmer Towns know a lot about the names of God. He has lectured on the names of each of the three Persons of the Godhead and has written three best-selling books on them…to give us information on God’s names and to help us understand the nature of God from His names. Many people have used them in their Bible studies or Sunday school classes. Now, in this devotional, Dr. Towns writes to our hearts so that we can feel and apply God to our everyday living,” says author Tim LaHaye in the book’s Foreward. “Through the names of God, we can touch God each day in a new and different way; but most important, God can touch us daily.”
