I have for sale the entire 18 volume set of The Renaissance New Testament by Randolph Yeager. Published in 1983, I got this set in 2006 but never used it much. It was advertised as the commentary to replace all others and it looks like a combination of a Greek New Testament, a lexicon, a…
Look At ME!
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and…
Solid Baptist Theology Books on Logos
As many of my friends and family know, I love Logos Bible Software. It’s a great resource for Bible study, reading, and sermon prep. And, as everyone knows I am not ashamed to be a Baptist. Through the years I have grown my digital library in Logos, and I am going to recommend my top…
The Well-Beloved Gaius
I love John’s third epistle. It is written to Gaius. He begins the letter with these words, “The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.” (3 John 1) This is significant because as we read further down, John had written to the church previously but there was some church problems. The church…
The Judgment That Matters Most
“But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 4:3-4) It is a tough thing…
Fear of Men
“Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.” (John 7:13) What a thought! In its context, it wasn’t that nobody at all was speaking about Jesus, for the enemies of our Lord were open in their opinions and their blasphemies against Him. The ones who were not speaking openly (or, boldly)…
Bible Software
I have been studying the Bible for almost as long as I have been able to read. And shortly after the Lord saved me at the age of 10, I was given a computer. It wasn’t much by today’s standards but I remember that Windows 3.1 machine like it was yesterday. Man, I thought I…
Regulative Principle of Worship and Liberty
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) As Baptists we practice what is known as the “regulative principle of worship” as outlined in Chapter 22, Section 1 of the Baptist Confession of 1689: “But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is…
An Affordable Library
“The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.” (2 Timothy 4:13) As Paul got to the end of his life, he wrote to Timothy and asked him come but also to bring him some personal belongings including some books. Every preacher…
C. H. Spurgeon on Commentaries
Charles Spurgeon has influenced my library (and my reading) more than any other man. Not only are his sermons very valuable and edifying, but he also had some great advice and recommendations on other books for which I am thankful. Here’s what he wrote about the use of commentaries in sermon preparation. “In order to…
