James Bryan Smith meyakini pemikiran-pemikiran tersebut menentukan tidak hanya sia…
Outline: The Book of Daniel. Isn't ultimately about Daniel - it's about the Gospel of Jesus. Often we read the book of Daniel in one of two ways - either as a book about a heroic man whose righteousness should inspire us to keep the faith, or as a roadmap to the end times that can, through careful study, tell us the day and hour (or nearly so) of Christ's return. Both, says Bryan Chapell, are s…

Outline : Esther often seems like an anomaly - a book of the Bible that never mentions God or his direct intervention. Yet the book feels closest to many Christians' own experience; few of us have experienced divine intervention, and our world seems just as secular as Esther's. We are tempted to ask, of her world and ours - where is God in all this? If he is real, why doesn't he show himself…
