  “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.  He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him.  He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world (John 1:6-9).  
  This world into which St. John was born was dark on all sides, and yet John was not overcome by the darkness. St. John was instead a shining lamp which dispelled the darkness and began to reform a world that had been deformed by sin.  
  Saint John the Baptist: Priest, Prophet, and Martyr shows how, through Divine Providence, one man was uniquely destined to pave the way for the coming of Christ. In a world steeped in darkness, St. John emerged as a beacon of light, challenging the Pharisees and Sadducees and pointing those around him to “make straight the way of the Lord.”  
  Unlike political or economic leaders, John sought no earthly power or wealth. Instead, he lived a life of simplicity and profound spiritual strength, guiding people to God through the desert, away from the corruption of the world. In a land dominated by Roman rule and religious tension, St. John’s unwavering faith and courage brought hope to a people yearning for salvation. Explore how this humble prophet became a spiritual epicenter, preparing the way for the Messiah and transforming a world in desperate need of redemption.

  As we enter a new normal after the peak of COVID-19, we are left with fears, questions, and anxiety. While the biological virus has taken an untold toll on lives worldwide—medically and economically—the "new virus" going forward may be summed up in two words: anxiety and worry. While our immediate attention is on our health and that of friends and loved ones, there is perhaps a greater need: How do we practice healthy emotional and spiritual "hygiene" as we emerge from arguably the greatest crisis the world has seen since World War II? With his more than four decades of professional experience as a therapist and trusted counseling leader, Dr. Tim Clinton brings a timely message of health and hope to a stressed-out, fearful world. Dr. Clinton examines science, psychology, physiology, and other concepts to help us cope with anxiety, but the primary focus is on the consistency of God's power, goodness, and love. Clinton adds, "It's my prayer that as you continue reading, you'll increasingly sense God's peace for your mind and hope for your heart."

  Hosea: Audio Lectures - 11...

  The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Hosea: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. 
  Designed for the pastor and Bible student, Hosea: Audio Lectures, together with the accompanying text on Hosea from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament, brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Jerry Hwang traces the flow of argument in the book of Hosea, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. 
  More than any other Old Testament prophet, Hosea speaks of YHWH's covenant with his people as a family affair rather than a legal proceeding. Hosea’s personal experiences become living proof of YHWH's commitment to his people as well as the rest of creation. In the process, the book of Hosea testifies to how the dealings of YHWH with the tiny kingdoms of Samaria and Judah are nothing less than the fulcrum of history. In this video study, each lecture offers the main idea of the passage, its literary context and Hebrew structure, an explanation of the text, and its practical significance for both the original audience and for us today.

  Ever feel like it's easier to believe we'll meet God in the afterlife than it is to feel God at work in this life, with its chores and schedules and messes and unrealized dreams? The truth is, God is at work every day of our lives, but because this work is quieter than we expect, we so often dismiss it as coincidence or chance. What if we could clearly understand those divine whispers? What if listening to them is the beginning of living out our truest story and purpose? 
   
   
   
  In Trust the Whisper, Kathy Izard shares compelling true stories that help you connect the "God Dots" in your life.

She helps you ask the right questions, trust your deepest intuition, be powerfully present, embrace the unexpected, and risk believing in the dreams God is quietly urging you to follow.

  The Tabernacle of David - The...

  David’s inaugural song of thanksgiving at the Tabernacle of David (1 Chronicles 16) that describes someone who “fears and loves to think about God” (Malachi 3:16-18). These people in Malachi who openly declare their love and appreciation for God learned the lessons of the Tabernacle of David while most long forgot its meaning and practice.’ 
  What David did, especially since the dedication of the Tabernacle of David was proceeded by burnt and peace offerings, showed God’s declaration of peace with those “who fear and love to think about Me” (Malachi 3:16-18). It was these people who declared themselves to be lovers of God that showed they still remember and practice the truths and reality of the Tabernacle of David. My icon, the dove, does not settle where there is chaos and unrest. The dove settles where there is peace. The Tabernacle of David, initiated by God, was a statement of peace with all those, Jew and Gentile, who seek His forgiveness and grace. And it is these He invites to celebrate the reconciliation between God and man with song, praise and thanksgiving.
