To follow Jesus we have to learn to think inside out, in
looking-glass fashion: what the world counts as great is
foolishness, and what the world counts as folly is the true wisdom.
Cling on to your life and you'll lose it; give everything you've
got to following Jesus, including life itself, and you'll win it.
In every generation there are, it seems, a few people who are
prepared to take Jesus seriously, at his word. What would it be
like if you were one of them?
Step Up to God's Calling! How does God want to use you? Not your
parents. Not your pastor. Not your friend with all the social media
followers. You! The Old Testament leader Joshua is a great example
for us to follow as we step up to God's call on our lives. Before
Joshua, Moses was the one who spoke to God, performed miracles, and
stood up to Pharaoh. But then Joshua had to come out to the front.
So what did he do? How did he step up? And what steps can you take
to seize the moment for yourself? This 90-day devotional will
inspire you to push aside fear and complacency in order to become
something more, leading change in your relationships, work,
community, and the world. Now is your time.
Are you hungry for more of God? Do you seek a greater understanding of
His purpose for your life and hope to walk in His blessings? Do you
long for His comfort and guidance and answers when confused? Do you
want to know more about the Holy Spirit?
The second in a series, Insights to Finding Spiritual Peace offers a
compilation of Bible studies and commentaries written over more than
twenty years. They were born from personal experience and insights from
God and originated as monthly prayer letters with a written Bible
message. These studies invite you to a deeper spiritual walk with the
Lord and nourish and comfort the soul through the stresses and
challenges of life. The secrets of the Lord’s purposes are found in the
Bible, and as the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to His Word, we gain His
insight. It is then we can say, “I understand.” This volume presents a
series of “now I understand” moments that can bring you knowledge and
comfort.
This collection of Bible studies and commentary seeks to help you
recognize and benefit from the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.
In this volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary (BCBC)
Series, Erland Waltner explains how 1 Peter applies Jesus' teaching
on loving the enemy to the life situation of scattered Christians
in Asia Minor. Peter empowers believers to be communities of hope,
not retaliating for abuse they suffer, but bearing witness to their
living Lord by word, transformed lifestyle, and doing good.
J. Daryl Charles admits that 2 Peter and Jude are hard for us to
understand. Yet he shows how these letters are relevant since the
church still faces ethical compromises and pastoral dilemmas. Their
apocalyptic imagery stresses that the concerns of Christian
faithfulness and faith are absolutely crucial. The church needs
such moral exhortation.

The Believers Church Bible Commentary presents the best of modern
scholarship in an accessible, practical form. The commentary
emphasizes the special concerns of readers from the Believers
Church tradition.
At the end of each chapter, an article on "The Text in the Life
of the Church" highlights how the Scripture passage applies to the
daily practice of Christian faith. Some of the themes that the
Believers Church Bible Commentary underscores are believer's
baptism, submission to the rule of Christ in the church, and
following Christ in personal sacrifice and service.
