Showing titles in Meditations

Many First Nations tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in their original tongues. The First Nations Version (FNV) recounts the Creator's Story—the Christian Scriptures—following the tradition of Native storytellers' oral cultures. This way of speaking, with its simple yet profound beauty and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First Nations people. Whether you are Native or not, you will experience the Scriptures in a fresh and new way.

The Psalms are a unique portion of the Old Testament—150 songs and poems—that cover a wide range of emotions to express the heart and essence of humanity. Written over several centuries by multiple authors, these Psalms illustrate the theology and worship of the Israelites, imparting lessons through the ages. This reading uses the King James Version of the Bible—a translation whose language is praised as some of the greatest poetry ever written—and is enhanced by actor Michael York's performance.

When God-in-the-flesh showed up twenty centuries ago in Palestine, the religious PhDs rejected him and the prostitutes and social outcasts flocked to him. Why? . . Because the open welcome of divine grace that Jesus offers, open to anyone who would simply leave their moral resume at home, is not predictable. It is not safe. It is subversive. . .

In Inspired Imperfection, Gregory A. Boyd adds another counterintuitive and provocative thesis to his corpus. While conservative scholars and pastors have struggled for years to show that the Bible is without errors, Boyd considers this a fool's errand. Instead, he says, we should embrace the mistakes and contradictions in Scripture, for they show that God chose to use fallible humans to communicate timeless truths.

Women are essential to the biblical story - they lead communities, bear life, and testify to God's power and presence. Some of their names we know, others we've only heard, and others, tragically, go unnamed.

Christians, rightly called “people of the cross,” look to Jesus’s death and resurrection as the central points of his earthly mission. But in order to understand more fully the person and work of Christ, it’s important for believers to fix their minds on his entire ministry — his life, death, resurrection, and ongoing ministry today — and not solely on his work on the cross.

Mark Scandrette shows how the Beatitudes invite us into nine new postures for life. Instead of living in fear, we can choose radical love. It's often assumed that the good life is only for the most wealthy, attractive, and powerful. Poor, sad, and suffering people are left out. But the ninefold path of the Beatitudes is for everyone. Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, wherever you find yourself, this way is available to you. 

Ulrike Kriener ist fasziniert von einem biblischen Weisheitstext, genannt "Kohelet" oder "Der Prediger Salomo". Sie ist überrascht von seiner erfrischend nüchternen Weltsicht und seiner verblüffenden Aktualität.

The Song of Solomon offers strikingly candid - and timeless - insights on romance, dating, marriage, and sex. We need it. Because emotions rise and fall with a single glance, touch, kiss, or word. And we are inundated with songs, movies, and advice that contradicts God's design for love and intimacy. Matt Chandler helps navigate these issues for both singles and marrieds by revealing the process Solomon himself followed: attraction, courtship, marriage...even arguing. The Mingling of Souls will forever change how you view and approach love.

Eminent biblical scholar Michael D. Coogan offers here a wide-ranging and stimulating exploration of the Old Testament, illuminating its importance as history, literature, and sacred text.

"I Salmi" (comunemente detto anche "Salterio") forma parte dell'insieme di testi poetici o sapienziali dell'"Antico Testamento" della "Bibbia" Cristiana. Si tratta di inni, normalmente accompagnati da strumenti musicali, di lode, meditazione e pentimento. Ogni salmo viene considerato come un capitolo a sé stante del testo, che ne contiene in totale 150 (la Chiesa Ortodossa ne contempla uno in più). In questo volume, di un progetto complessivo di tre pubblicazioni che andranno a coprire l'opera integrale, vengono proposti i primi 50 componimenti del "Salterio".

Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686) was an English Puritan preacher and author who served as vicar of St. Stephen's Walbrook. In The Ten Commandments he discusses the rule of obedience as the moral law, summarised in the 10 commandments.

O salmista confirma a sentença precedente, demonstrando a grandeza de Deus à luz do maravilhoso caráter de suas obras. Ele não fala da essência secreta e misteriosa de Deus que enche céu e terra, mas das manifestações de seu poder, sabedoria, bondade e justiça, que são claramente exibidos, embora sejam tão vastos para que nosso tacanho entendimento os apreenda.
