I've seen gold, and I've seen silver, but I have never seen apples of gold in silver settings. My initial reaction is that such apples in such settings must reflect both tremendous value and exquisite beauty. There are words like that-words of tremendous value and exquisite beauty! And we can possess them even though they were all spoken so very long ago. We can possess them by reading the reports of them in the Bible and by reflecting deeply on what we have read.Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time! My Coffee Cup Meditations are short, easy-to-read, Bible-based devotions to help you consider God's greatness, the wonderful gospel of Jesus, and be better equipped for life here and hereafter.

The epistle to the Hebrews begins by unveiling the glory of Christ--the eternal Son of God who shares the everlasting throne of "the Majesty on high." It shows in entrancing detail how He descended from that throne to become a man, that He might rescue His people from death, judgment, and the power of sin. Here is a combination of careful scholarship and readability, along with apt illustrations. How does Christ rescue His people? By inaugurating a new covenant--"the new covenant in my blood"--replete with better promises, a better priesthood, a better sacrifice, and a better hope than had hitherto prevailed under the law of Moses. By one offering for sin forever, Christ our great High Priest has perfected forever those He has set apart for His glory and who come to God through Him. He is their advocate, their rest, their righteousness, their example, and their "exceeding great reward."

A Glorious High Throne: The Message of Hebrews for Today

Andrews, Edgar

While there is no place in Scripture where God provides any clear explanation of the origin of evil and His purposes in it, He affirms His goodness and love on virtually every page. And when His character is properly understood, His ultimate purposes become obvious. This book helps believers rediscover these truths revealed in Scripture, that they might permeate our heart and animate our worship. Herein we can find comfort and hope in days of trouble, and glorify God come what may.

God, Evil, and Suffering: Understanding God's Role in Tragedies and Atrocities (Compact Expository Pulpit Commentary)

Harrell, David a

God's purpose revolves primarily for His own glory and the good of His own people. Christians can take tremendous encouragement from that. Is it not strange that we can trace His hand in history and we can believe His promise in prophecy, but somehow, we think He is not in control right now? God is in control of the smallest details of our lives. He who numbers the hairs of our head orders every event in our lives. Enjoy reading this devotional commentary on the life of Esther-and putting its many lessons into practice!

For Such a Time as This: The Sovereignty and Goodness of God in the Book of Esther

Mercer, Colin

The book you hold in your hands is a remarkable collection of daily Scripture meditations by more than 200 church leaders representing 15 countries. But more than that, it is testimony of how these faithful leaders--and many others like them--are fulfilling the Great Commission.
 As faculty and graduates of TMAI's training centers, these authors have been equipped to rightly handle God's truth and shepherd Christ's flock, making disciples in their local churches who are rooted and grounded in the truth of God's word. As you read each devotional, you'll see and be reminded that no matter the need or issue--whether it's witchcraft in Malawi, gang violence in Honduras, or persecution in the Middle East--God's word has the answers. Scripture alone is supreme and sufficient--its truth transcends location, language, culture, and worldview.
 Journey each day through Scripture with these shepherds from around the world as your guide. Be encouraged and challenged as God's truth is faithfully explained and applied. Watch your faith be strengthened and your prayer life revitalized. Above all, give praise to God as you hear many voices declare His glory among the nations.

No one who knew John Newton as a young lad would ever have dreamed that this teenage rebel, profane sailor, naval deserter and slave-trader would one day write the lyrics to one of the best-known hymns of all time, Amazing Grace. The story of how such a notorious sinner was converted to Christ and went on to become an equally noteworthy pastor and leader of the evangelical movement in eighteenth century England is simply astounding. In compiling this selection from his writings, Todd Murray has made Newton’s gentle pastoral wisdom available to a new generation of readers
