Perhaps one of the most misunderstood truths of the Bible is the reality of Heaven and Hell. Misshapen by popular culture and a poor understanding of the teaching of God's Word many even within the church have little grasp about the realities of the life to come. Dr. John Neufeld's new book, Heaven and Hell, provides a rich biblical perspective that will shape our understanding about the truth of our eternity. Bruce Ware, Professor of Christian Theology wrote, "Although this book is relatively short, it is packed Readers will find excellent biblical exposition and incisive analysis that will inform their minds and enflame their hearts.
The issue of control is a central question of life. At work, in family, community clubs and schools, with the economy or international politics, the question is, "Is anyone in charge here?" Dr. John Neufeld demonstrates the Bible teaching of God's providence. We are assured that God's Hand is upon everything and everyone, without exception. Dr. John explores God's sustaining grip through the natural world and human endeavor, in pivotal matters or the seemingly trivial, the things we welcome and those we shun. He teaches the impact of God's sovereign rule upon our hearts, minds, work, worship, homes, and nation. We can live in the confidence that God is unfolding His purpose for time and eternity.What people are saying about Dr. John Neufeld's teaching: "This is such an important message for us today. Thank you, Dr. John, for your encouragement to view what is presently concerning us in the world from the perspective of God and His providence. That should take a huge weight off our shoulders "
Life can drain us. Some days deplete us of energy, time, ideas or support. We try to renew with rest, play, family or retreats - but ultimately, it is God alone who can restore us. The book of Ruth is a story of restoration. Naomi finds herself emptied of all she loved, but that's not how the story ends. You are invited to spend time with the book of Ruth. It is a story of redemption for men and women who long to be restored in life and faith.
It is increasingly difficult to discern whose voice to trust in our society. Agendas slant messages. Facts are buried under discourse. Information is suspect, depending upon its source.Nowhere is this struggle more vital than in matters of eternal truth. Dr. John Neufeld guides us through Biblical teaching to discern who has the authority and truth of God's Word. "Who Speaks for God?" A vital question for today's Church.
From childhood, we are taught two words which help us navigate life with people and God. We begin with "Please," naming our requests and needs. We follow it up with "Thank you," an expression of gratitude. Those words never run thin, and there are few occasions where they are amiss. These pages focus on the second word and highlight the place of gratitude in our life. Gratitude can't be confined to a seasonal remembrance. While there are national holidays and family traditions of "Thanksgiving," being grateful is a repeated expression. You don't say "I love you" just on Valentine's Day. You wouldn't affirm a child just on their birthday. We ought to express gratitude regardless of the calendar. In fact, there is no month or situation where gratitude is out of place. Like "please and thank you," a heart of thanks is always fitting. Our prayer at Back to the Bible Canada is that this devotional tool will be used by God to help shape a heart of thanks within every reader. May He grant us open eyes to recognize the grace we have been granted and saturate our soul with "thanks" until it is heard in our speech, seen by our smiles, proved by our actions and rises to heaven as praise.
