As most of you know, I’m deeply into my complete rewrite, revision, and expansion of my book The Untold Story of the New Testament Church, which I hope to release over the next few years. (If you’re are new to my work and you weren’t aware of this, DO NOT buy the old version. It’s flawed and grossly incomplete. Wait until the new version releases.) As I write the new revision, which currently is triple the size of the old... Read more

The Law is Not of Faith by Jon Zens But the Law is not of faith. Rather, “The one having done these things will live by them.” – Galatians 3:12 The first ten years of my life in Christ, I was in a tradition that saw the Ten Commandments as the believer’s rule of life, and emphasized Sunday Sabbath-keeping. I began to question some of the basic tenets of this theological system when I read several articles by Arkansas preacher... Read more

The Daily Decree: Bringing Your Day Into Alignment with God’s Prophetic Destiny is a fairly new book by Brenda Kunneman. The book is small, and the chapters are short and easy to read. Each chapter begins with a positive declaration based on a scripture text. Here’s an example: YOUR ENERGY IS RENEWED! “Today, in the spirit of divine agreement, we decree that your youth is being renewed like the eagle’s.” The decree fills just one page. The next page has... Read more

Susan Hylen has written a new book entitled Finding Phoebe: What New Testament Women Were Really Like. I’ll be using it as a source for my upcoming book The Untold Story of the New Testament Church (Revised and Expanded), due out in 2024 or 2025. I caught up with Susan recently to discuss her book. Enjoy! When someone hears about a book and they ask, “What is your book about?” what they are really asking is, “What’s in it for... Read more

Matt Edwards is one of the pastors who participated in my Insurgence Experience (IXP) Mastermind. Since I last saw Matt, he’s written a new book called Mustard Seeds and Viral Videos. I caught up with Matt recently to discuss his new book. Enjoy! There are countless books available today. And they all compete for people’s attention. The average reader wants to know, “what in it for me”? when they consider buying a book and taking the time to read it.... Read more

Studies in the Sermon on the Mount by David Martyn Lloyd-Jones is regarded as a spiritual classic on Jesus’ remarkable kingdom charter in Matthew 5 – 7. Jones is detailed in his exposition, showing that the Sermon on the Mount is not a code of ethics or a list of moral rules. According to Jones, “When we consider the Sermon on the Mount, we are never to stop even with the moral, ethical, spiritual teaching; we are to go beyond... Read more

A large emphasis of my ministry is on the subject of creation and new creation, particularly with reference to God’s Eternal Purpose. (Many of the conference messages explore this topic.) Recently, Edward W. Klink III has released a new book entitled The Beginning and End of All Things: A Biblical Theology of Creation and New Creation. While the book is written in an academic manner, the content is solid. I see it as a good introduction to the subject of... Read more
