Biblical Salvation

L. Michael Morales examines the key elements of three major redemption movements in Scripture: the exodus out of Egypt, the second exodus foretold by the prophets, and the new exodus accomplished by Jesus Christ. We discover how the blood of a Passover lamb helps us grasp the significance of Jesus' death on the cross, how the Lord's defeat of Pharaoh foreshadowed Jesus' victory over Satan, how Israel's exodus out of Egypt unfolds the meaning of the resurrection, and much more.

In 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation - including starships - virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now a step away from any other. And all seems wonderful - until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world 89 light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem....

Does salvation hinge on divine decree or human choice? Are we puppets in a predetermined script, or does grace invite everyone to respond? For centuries, these questions have fueled some of the most passionate debates in Christian history. Some insist that God selects only a chosen few, while others hold fast to the belief that anyone can accept His grace. If you’ve ever wrestled with these ideas—or want to understand why so many do—this book is for you. This is not just another theology book. It’s a clear, compelling guide to Arminianism, the often-misunderstood perspective that ...

Why did the first Christians recognize Jesus as the Messiah so quickly? Because they read the Old Testament the way the Church intended – typologically. The earliest Jewish converts to Christianity understood that Jesus fulfilled what had been foreshadowed in their Sacred Scriptures. Reading from the Greek Septuagint, they easily recognized Christ as the true Paschal Lamb, the Last Supper as the new Passover, and even Mary as the Ark of the Covenant. For them, the Bible was not a collection of disconnected stories, but one unified, Christ-centered narrative. In this beginner-friendly ...

Chris Kugler presents a thorough exploration of "personal eschatology," addressing the complex theological and biblical questions about the eternal fate of human beings. While Scripture suggests the possibility of eternal loss, Kugler argues that its most relevant texts are less definitive than commonly thought. Kugler contends that a nuanced picture is called for when one considers how theology uses the Bible to develop doctrine. He presents the problems, possibilities, and prospects of the three major views on personal eschatology: damnationism, annihilationism, and universalism.

According to the Gospel accounts, in the light of prayer, I invited Jesus to tell Me about his Life and explain the Parables, as His disciples asked Him to. To My surprise, Jesus immediately accepted the invitation and offered to narrate the events of His life. There is nothing new here, the same as what we already knew; but narrated and commented on by Jesus. You will not find curious facts here, but profound insights, expressed in a very simple way. There is nothing strange here; nothing new: The old story told in a new way, that's for sure. You will find “old things” that you may not...

What follows is not a translation in the ordinary sense of the word. It’s more like a paraphrase. Rather than worry over the letter of the text, the goal has been to illuminate the large scale patterns that structure it. The King James Version, for instance, renders Paul’s letter with uncanny beauty but is opaque as an argument. Modern translations tend to have the same problem. Their overriding concern is with the letter of the text, not with its logic. As a result, Paul’s forest is always getting sacrificed for the sake of his trees. But Paul’s work is too important, his good news...

Jesus said people will know that we are Christians by our love. We need to remember that the church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints. If I see you come into my church and I can tell you have been drinking or you are high, if you stink of sin, if you look beaten down from the vices that you have let rule your life then you need to know I will walk right up to you and hug you because you are right where you need to be. It took tremendous courage for you to walk through those doors. I know God must be doing a work in your life and I will do anything in my power to help ...
