It was the expositor S. Lewis Johnson who once said, “I am not surprised when I read the New Testament to discover that of all of the sections of the Old Testament that the New Testament authors use, this book of Isaiah stands right at the top of the list. Of the books of the Old Testament...

As the Protestant Reformation gained momentum in the years following Luther's 95 Theses, the glorious truths of the Gospel made their way throughout the land. Hearts were healed. Minds were enlightened. Hope was born. But, unfortunately for some, behavior went unchanged. That's because although...

Imagine that your nation is in social, political, and religious turmoil. Multitudes around you are dropping dead daily from an epidemic. In fact, your home has become a hospital for the sick, and a place in which you watch your own friends die. Your one-year-old son has come close to death just as...

Available from Three Sixteen Publishing (the same publishing house that produced the Preacher’s Bible and the NASB Children’s Edition), The Adventures of Adam Raccoon is a delightful book collection of fictional stories for young children. In this series, the main character, “Adam...

Today marks four years since the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges case that became a major turning point in the United States. This U.S. Supreme Court decision, requiring states to grant licenses to, and officially recognize, “same-sex marriage” (more accurately called “same-sex mirage&rd...

I greatly sympathize with parents who struggle with personal Bible study. For some, there is so much to do in the day that not even a twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth hour would provide relief. For others, the cost of accessing quality study resources likes theology books and commentaries (beyond the...

“You know, this is not really a book about Jonah. It’s not really a book about a big fish. It’s a book about God, isn’t it? It’s about God’s sovereignty.”[1] So says expositor Derek Thomas concerning this short, four-chapter, minor prophet. And he’s...

Ask any expositor about the book of Ecclesiastes and he will probably tell you it is among the more difficult books to teach. At first glance, much of it appears to be little more than a riddle wrapped in an enigma. Perhaps that is one reason that it is studied so little. On the other hand, perhaps...

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as “Dr. Seuss” (and lesser-known pronounced as “Zoice”) stands as one of the most read and best-selling authors of all time.[1] Having written over sixty children’s books and selling over 600 million copies, he is beloved by...

Although it was first published in 2007, it wasn’t until around 2015 that I was first introduced to The Jesus Storybook Bible as an option for my kids. At that time, my older son and I had worked our way through several other children’s storybook Bibles, and I was excited for this to be...

The name “Micah” means “Who is Like Yahweh?” and a study of his written prophecy makes the answer even more obvious than it already is: no one. Over the course of three messages (as marked off by the keyword “hear,” cf. Mic. 1:2, 3:1, 5:1), Micah demonstrated the...

In Part 1, we briefly considered the rise and ramifications of the Young, Restless, and Reformed movement. Today, we consider the results.

In speaking of the New American Standard version of the Bible, John MacArthur says,

My language in preaching is the language of the NAS. I’ve been using the New American Standard Bible for probably the last forty years. It is the clearest, purest, word-for-word, formal equivalency edition in...

The widespread recovery of Reformed theology over the past two decades has left us with much for which to be thankful. God has blessed us beyond measure with godly men to bring about much-needed correction. John MacArthur has tilled the soil of our hearts with verse-by-verse expository preaching....

As one of the largest books of the Minor Prophets, Hosea stands as a monumental text, beloved not only by believers today, but clearly by the New Testament authors as well. Even a quick read through the book reveals that it serves as the basis for much of New Testament thought. For example, Paul...

Two news stories (one from last year, and one from this year) gaining U.S. national attention provide us with yet another example of the cultural schizophrenia exhibited in our post-modern times.

The first is a story picked up by news outlets a few months ago. According to the latest data, the year...

“A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?” So wrote the prophet Amos, concerning the message he had for the Northern Kingdom of Israel (cf. Amos 3:8). Like most of the Apostles, Amos had no theological credentials (cf. Amos 7:14). He was not a...
