Wat gebeur nadat jy besef en aanvaar Jesus het jou inderdaad gekies? Wanneer ons aan Hom behoort, kry ons nie net ’n nuwe identiteit nie; ons word in ’n nuwe realiteit ingelei – een wat eg, kragtig en lewensveranderend is. Geseënd is julle is ’n interaktiewe Bybelstudie in 8 sessies vir individue of kleingroepe gebaseer op die tweede reeks van die aanlyn TV-reeks The Chosen. Hierdie studie stel beide die Ou en Nuwe Testament op ’n vars en verstaanbare manier bekend.

Throughout the Bible we read of people being chosen to serve God, but what does it actually mean to be chosen? Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications – although it says even more about the Chooser than the one being chosen. We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people.

With over 300 000 copies sold, What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? is the official 8-week companion Bible study to season 1 of The Chosen, the groundbreaking television series about the life of Jesus. It parallels each episode to connect you to the Bible in a brand-new way and offers:

• A deeper look at Isaiah 43 and its fulfillment in Jesus and the lives of His followers.
• Script excerpts, quotes and illustrations from the television series.
• Guiding questions for groups or individuals.

God Never Changes Or does he? God has been getting a makeover of late, a 'reinvention' that has incited debate and troubled scholars and laypeople alike. Modern theological sectors as diverse as radical feminism and the new open theism movement are attacking the classical Christian view of God and vigorously promoting their own images of Divinity. God Under Fire refutes the claim that major attributes of the God of historic Christianity are false and outdated. This book responds to some increasingly popular alternate theologies and the ways in which they cast classical Christian theism in a negative light. Featuring an impressive cast of world-class biblical scholars, philosophers, and apologists, God Under Fire begins by addressing the question, Should the God of Historic Christianity Be Replaced? From there, it explores issues as old as time and as new as the inquest into the openness of God. How, for instance, does God risk, relate, emote, and change? Does he do these things, and if so, why? These and other questions are investigated with clarity, bringing serious scholarship into popular reach. Above all, this collection of essays focuses on the nature of God as presented in the Scriptures and as Christians have believed for centuries. God Under Fire builds a solid and appealing case for the God of classical Christian theism, who in recent years---as through the centuries---has been the God under fire."

Teddy bears inspired this fun, short story that depicts a variety of teddy bears (baby bears), in all different ways. A great read for parents and toddlers.

The end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries have involved much discussion on overhauling and refining a scholarly understanding of the verbal system for first-century Greek. These discussions have included advances in verbal aspect theory and other linguistic approaches to describing the grammatical phenomena of ancient languages. This volume seeks to apply some of that learning to the narrow realm of how prohibitions were constructed in the first-century Greek of the New Testament. Part 1 "The Great Prohibition Debate" seeks to demonstrate that verbal aspect theory has a better explanation than traditional Aktionsart theory for authorial choices between the negated present imperative and the negated aorist subjunctive in expressing prohibitions in the Greek New Testament. Part 2 "All the Prohibitions in the Greek NT" continues to examine prohibitions, but is more of an exercise in functional linguistics. That is, rather than apply verbal aspect theory to the grammar of prohibition constructions, Part 2 seeks only to survey the (initially surprising) wide variety of ways prohibitions can be expressed in koine Greek: more than a dozen different constructions. To do this, the NT prohibitions are grouped in their varying grammatical-syntactical and/or pragmatic constructions, all of which function - in varying degrees - in a prohibitory fashion. This taxonomy may prove to be the beginnings of further investigations into how biblical Greek communicates commands.
