Who was between the cherubim outside the Garden of Eden? Did Job's wife really ask him to curse God? Who was Ruth's nearest kinsman? Can I really dump coals of fire on the heads of my enemies? Did Adam and Eve really become as gods by eating of the fruit?So often, we read over verses without stopping to think and at other times, verses or phrases seem to reach out and grab us. This book presents some of the special spots in Scripture that have latched themselves to the author.Uncommon Views of Common Verses offers fifty-two short studies from a Scriptural but uncommon view. All Scripture portions are handled with careful Scriptural exegesis, from a literal perspective, but offering a different look than is common.

God has always offered to the world His witnesses. He does not allow anyone to leave this world without due warning of the consequences of rejecting His offer of salvation. To the heathen, there has always been a definitive declaration of God's glory in the heavens and also miraculous testimony to the preaching of His gospel to true seekers. (Acts 8.26)During the most trying times the world will ever see, God sends His witnesses. John records that there will be 144,000 special, sealed witnesses (preachers of the gospel) who will go into all the world with Pentecostal power-preaching to all the ends of the world. Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, two witnesses stand in the city for three and one half years preaching the truth to an unbelieving world.Who are these witnesses? What is their message? What makes them special? Take a look inside-you may be surprised.

Most devotional books offer a verse of Scripture with a cute story or quick anecdote. While these writings give a quick uplift and encouraging words, they fall short of challenging the reader to dig deeper.The author of "Encounters in the Word" approaches the concept of Bible devotions as an opportunity to get into the Word and enrich the reader's understanding of short passages. While the concepts are not unique, often the author uses unique approaches to the biblical concepts. Reaching beyond commonly held opinion and religious diatribe, these devotionals offer in-depth analyses along with poignant applications which apply to everyday Christian living.Having been written and collected over a period of nearly five years, these short studies cover a variety of subjects. It is the author's desire that they will be a blessing to the reader.

It had been several years since Peter had delivered God?s message at Pentecost. The audience had come from all over the world.There was nothing novel in the message ? it consisted of things any good Jewish person would have known from their childhood. The difference was that this message was accompanied by the power of God?s Spirit. After our Lord?s ascension into heaven (Acts 1.11), Peter labored for his Savior tirelessly to the point of death. He understood well the urgency of the times and he desired to pass that along to as many believers as possible.These two epistles show Peter?s efforts in stirring up those who had been stirred up at Pentecost ? at the birth of the Body of Christ.

John Hill knew when he quit as a government minister that what he had learnt - often painfully - over 11 years was likely to disappear with him. So he wrote it down ...
