Psalm 119, 21of27


~ Read God’s Word To Increase Our Reverence For God ~

119:38 Establish Your word to Your servant,
Who is devoted to fearing You.

119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

Comment  ~  The more we read and understand God’s Word the more we will fear (reverence) the mighty God.  Incidentally, blessings are tied to the fear of God.  Abundant Life Now has posted a weekly series entitled “Fear God” (beginning on January 8, 2016 it skipped 2018 and is currently continuing on Fridays).

EXTRA: Be Wise Today

~ FREE Inspiring Books ~

During these days of changed schedules for so many, Abundant Life Now is offering two of the “Christian Concepts Series” eBooks for FREE*. 
If you are not sure how to read an eBook on your computer, tablet, or smart phone, note the “Mini Tutorial” at the bottom of this email. 

Christian Concepts Series
(Timeless Truths – Contemporary Perspectives)

(1)   The Church – Matthew 13:45-46 – FREE*
God’s Church: Christ’s Pearl ~ The early parables of Matthew 13 are well known and widely understood.  GOD'S CHURCH: Christ's Pearl is a unique study of one of the later parables, "the one pearl of great price."  After providing a clear exposition of the parable, this landmark book provides a fascinating study with clear lessons for today.  
This is an excellent Bible study.  Mr. Russell really develops insights that I hadn’t appreciated before in One Precious Pearl.  He writes clearly so that the material is easily understood by both clergy and laity.  It was very edifying for me to read.”  ~ William J. Petersen, Emeritus Senior Acquisitions Editor, Baker Book House and Fleming H. Revell (regarding the previous print book – which received 5 literary awards)

(2)   The Christ – 1 John 1:5 – FREE* 
God's Nature: Sonlight Sunlight identifies fascinating parallels between natural and spiritual light and contrasts the natural and spiritual light of the world.  Analogies teach profound truth in simple language.  Written in short easily digestible segments.  Think and Grow questions at the end of each chapter make it an ideal small group study. 
First there was Tozer with The Knowledge of the Holy, and then Packer gave us Knowing God, and now Russell has taken us further with God Light.  There is a tremendous need for a book on this subject. We have witnessed the publication of many books around the statement “God is Love,” but I cannot recall ever seeing one around the statement “God is Light.” It is important that these two attributes of God be brought into conjunction with each other because it is really impossible to discuss love intelligently without understanding light.”  ~ Dr. Earl D. Radmacher, General Editor Nelson Study Bible/New King James Study Bible (regarding the pervious print version – which won 6 literary awards)

(3)   The Christian – Psalm 1:3 (Pre-order now, except Amazon – available April 15th)
GOD’S CHILD: Like a Tree like the other books in this series, looks at amazing parallels between physical and spiritual realities.
The definitive work on Psalm 1:3.  Mr. Russell has a tremendous gift for analogy.  The most impressive thing is the way he has built off of existing undeniable Scriptural concepts.  I am very impressed with his use of certain Scriptures, such as with regard to trees being deceptive in appearance.  ...  His work is very interesting, very clear, and intensely practical.”   ~ Ronald B. Allen, Senior Professor of Bible Exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary (regarding an early draft of this book)
