Graeme Goldsworthy explores the reality of God, the ministry of Jesus Christ, and our experience of being his redeemed people as the grounds for prayer, which he defines as "talking to God."

God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Andrew Shead examines Jeremiah's commissioning, embodiment of the word of God, covenant preaching and "oracles of hope." He shows how a differentiation between the divine "word" and the prophet's "words" enables the word of God to function as an organizing center for the book's theology.

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

This document's purpose is to spell out the Church's understanding of the nature of revelation--the process whereby God communicates with human beings. It touches upon questions about Scripture, tradition, and the teaching authority of the Church. The major concern of the document is to proclaim a Catholic understanding of the Bible as the "word of God." Key elements include: Trinitarian structure, roles of apostles and bishops, and biblical reading in a historical context.

God desires all men to come to the full knowledge of the truth. He also desires that we, as believers, would speak for Him. Everyone may speak for God and everyone can speak for God. In the Old Testament, when sixty-eight elders came before the Lord and began to speak for the Lord, Moses said to Joshua, "Oh that all Jehovah's people were prophets" (Num. 11:29). In the New Testament, Paul boldly stated, "You can all prophesy one by one" (1 Cor. 14:31). In Everyone Speaking the Word of God, Witness Lee encourages the believers to begin to speak for God by speaking the Word of God. For this he stresses the need for training and even a solid and systematic education in the Word of God so the truths in the Word become the words in our mouth. He identifies ten categories of the Word that must become experiential to us through study, prayer, and the filling of the Spirit. These include the word of grace, the word of truth, the word of the gospel, the word of life, the healthy word, the edifying word, the word of righteousness, the word of knowledge, and the word of wisdom.
