Download or read book Timeless Insights from the Book of Judges written by Brian Kennedy Sr. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we do life in a post quarantine world, we seem okay on the surface, but we are boiling inside. Our social gages are sending warnings regarding our imminent spiritual and social malfunctioning. People are subject to pull the trigger in a mass shooting, cancel someone because they do not fully embrace their political, religious or social ideologies. When we misspeak or misstep, we expect understanding and coddling, but we have zero mercy for errors in others (do not mess up the “zero mercy” person's Starbucks order or else!). We seem to be increasingly desperate, discouraged by the higher cost of living, and searching for meaningful personal connections but we are unsure of who to connect with and trust. We are clearly wiser technologically, economically, and structurally, but seemingly more barbaric socially. We are not being very loving toward each other. Have we compromised so slowly and surely, we do not realize have far off center we really are? Has compromise blinded us and made us callous? Do we care about our social gages warning us about our spiritual and social malfunctioning? Do we care about compromise in the culture when God wants to use us to facilitate Him establishing a love relationship with the people in the culture? In all the drama presented in the book of Judges, we see God doing His eternal work in a compromising culture. Despite their behavior, God does not give up on His children but prepared ordinary people like you and me to participate in His eternal work in a compromising culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose for this book is to show us how easy we can fall into compromise, worship idol gods, and end up in big trouble with God. The culture today is constantly changing, and people in the culture are demanding that we leave the Bible out of any meaningful discussion regarding right and wrong. In this culture, the Bible is unwelcome in discussions about social institutions, political approaches, and the core values in society. However, the Bible is still the final authority for the Christians faith and practice. May these timeless insights gleaned from the Book of Judges bless each reader and bless you for years to come.

Download or read book Judges for Our Time written by Steven Pruzansky and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its accounts of victories and defeats, conquests and liberation, the sordid tales of spiritual corruption, and the relentless struggle to maintain a Jewish state in the face of implacable enemies, the Book of Shoftim reads like today's headlines.In the sixty years of modern Jewish statehood, there has been a remarkable - though unsurprising - recurrence of almost everyissue tackled by the judges in their time: foreign enemies, incessant terror, asymmetrical warfare, the role of women in public life, intermarriage, converts, religion and state, pluralism, diplomacy, and for peace, and an imperfect - and occasionally grievously flawed - leadership.Learn how Jews of ancient times guided by the divine wisdom of the Torah overcame strife, disunity, and even civil war, and how the modern State of Israel serves as a similar bridge between the exile and the restoration of the faithful Torah state with the monarchy of King David s descendants. Rabbi Pruzansky directly confronts the controversial issues in the public domain today, and uncovers the secret to modern Jewish governance. Judges for Our Time shows clearly how the Book of Shoftim is profoundly relevant to our era

Download or read book Birthright of Freedom written by Doyle Musser and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter your circumstance, everyone is born with a birthright and an inheritance. God has promised this inheritance to each and every one of us, although many of us may not know how to access our birthright—and some of us may not even know what we will inherit. Birthright of Freedom is an in-depth Bible study centered on the Old Testament book of Judges. It focuses on seven major oppressors of Israel during that period, explaining their origins and the generational sins that typified their relationship with Israel. The study looks at the importance of covenant, covenant blessings, and consequences of covenant violations. There is opportunity to discover contemporary manifestations of those same generational curses, using the biblical model to deal with generational sin. Alongside each curse, authors Doyle & Rebecca Musser look at the covenant blessings God has given us through the redemptive gifts and the redeemer himself, Jesus. As Jesus proclaimed, we are all heirs to the throne of the kingdom of God, and he has given us the freedom to claim our place alongside him in this coming kingdom. By identifying the specific areas that hold us back from the freedom God intends, you too can apply the Word to your life and begin following kingdom protocol.

Download or read book The Completion of Judges written by David J. H. Beldman and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last five chapters of the book of Judges (chs. 17-21) contain some shocking and bizarre stories, and precisely how these stories relate to the rest of the book is a major question in scholarship on the book. Leveraging work from literary studies and hermeneutics, Beldman reexamines Judges 17-21 with the aim of discerning the "strategies of ending" that are at work in these chapters. The author identifies and describes a number of strategies of ending in Judges 17-21, including the strategy of completion, the strategy of circularity, and the strategy of entrapment. The temporal configuration of Judges and especially the nonlinear chronology that chapters 17-21 expose also receive due attention. All of this offers fresh insights into the place and function of Judges 17-21 in the context of the whole book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job has a surprising amount to say about some of the newest scientific discoveries and controversies. Far from a book that is just about suffering, Job is filled with rich insight into both ancient and modern questions about the formation of the world the difference between animals and humans cosmology dinosaurs and the fossil record how to care for creation and more With careful consideration and exegesis, internationally known astrophysicist and Christian apologist Hugh Ross adds yet another compelling argument to the case for the veracity of the biblical commentary on the history of the universe, Earth, life, and humanity.
