Free Getty Hymn for October

The words of this song, “May the Peoples Praise You,” remind us that it is our holy privilege to declare the name of Christ to every tribe, language, people, and nation. It was inspired by Psalm 67:20, as a call to worship God, and a call to share the Gospel through missions.

That your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. (ESV)

Indeed, one day all creation will join in praising the Lord God Almighty.

A Chronological Look at Prophecy in the Scriptures

In his presentation, “God’s Order of Events,” Evangelist Don Perkins examines Bible prophecy as a whole. He takes a look at several topics that include: what Bible prophecy is, and why we should study it. With an emphasis on various historical ages mentioned in the Scriptures, Perkins gives a concise chronology of the past, present, and future world. You can watch or listen here.

Can it be that the ancient Book of Habakkuk is one of the most relevant books in the Bible for today? Don Smith reminds us how Christ calls His Church to be a beacon of light in the darkness, much like the prophet Habakkuk proclaimed centuries ago. We shine as His beacons as we cling to faith in Him and in His Word. Don says we can rejoice because the invisible hand of God is working for His good pleasure right now in 21st century history. These thoroughly outlined study notes are a companion to Don Smith’s audio series, “A Faith to Cling To.”

BLB introduces the 18th-century Scottish clergyman, Charles Inglis, who spent the majority of his life learning and teaching the Word of God. His study resource, Pegs for Preachers, has been widely utilized by ministry leaders and studious believers in all parts of the world. His work contains alphabetized lists of thousands of topics that are all linked to Scripture references, to assist you in the study of God’s Word.

We are very pleased that Thru the Bible ministry has given us permission to offer Dr. McGee’s text commentaries, Bible notes, and outlines for the entire New and Old Testaments. These all-inclusive guides are a wonderful companion to the inductive style of Bible study. This beloved Bible teacher and author from the Los Angeles area had a prolific radio ministry that is still being broadcast worldwide today.

Verse of the Day

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:5-8)
