Many questions surround the destiny and eternity of the man who sold his Lord and Master for thirty pieces of silver and committed suicide thereafter. But even, the divinity of Jesus (in most people's psych) makes Judas more accursed.

The standard take on Creation is that it displays God's power for all to see through what has been created. But there is more to the Creation account than meets the eye. Not only did God reveal himself through what was created but also in how he created it.
Have you ever wondered why it took God so long to create the heavens and the earth? He could have done it in the blink of an eye. But he chose six days. Why?
The answer is found in his intentional...

We have all been in Sunday school or Bible study classes in which questions are asked and one gets a stare of surprise from the teacher and/or pastor that implies it is not relevant to the topic being taught or studied.

From the most seasoned theologians to the newest Bible study student, A, B, Come and See Revelations enlightens each reader by demystifying one of the most complicated books of the bible. Bible scholars have tediously dedicated decades to the sole study of the book of Revelation, which has left many perplexed and unresolved.

Description
A unique commentary that explores each passage from three vital perspectives: original meaning, bridging context, contemporary significance. Isaiah wrestles with the realities of people who are not convicted by the truth but actually hardened by it, and with a God whose actions sometimes seem unintelligible, or even worse, appears to be absent. Yet Isaiah penetrates beyond these experiences to an even greater reality. Isaiah sees God's rule over history...

Relationships are a wonderful, mysterious, often elusive, sometimes, painful part of the human experience. The most intimate of all human relationships, according to the Bible, is that between a husband and a wife. It is no surprise, therefore, that there is a book of the Bible, the Song of Songs, that focuses on this relationship.
