Bengel, John – Gnomon of the NT (Commentary + Dictionary) – (5 vols)

Gnomon of the NT is a classic Greek New Testament Commentary, the fruit of twenty years labor. Bengel condenses more matter into a line than other writers say in pages. It is said that Bengel could convey in two sentences where other authors needed two pages to say.

My Tracts on Church Attendance The first and foremost reason to go to church is because God commands us to do so (Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.).
Coming in behind that direct command of God, we go to church in order to worship God Himself. How? Simple. We hear the Word of God actually read and carefully explained, and then we assimilate those principles y exhortations into our personal lives, and that is worship. Without those elements, there is no worship, and there is no success at "going to church." It is fruitless spiritually, and without spiritual benefit to your life, you will get discouraged and stop going, stop being committed to it, and it will ruin your life because you are a hypocrite.

The Family the Foundation of Our Society
The Family the Foundation of Our Society is a reaction from me as pastor to an article calling for the destruction of the family. The Bible places the nuclear family and the church as the two most important moral constructs given to us. Maybe government coming after them, but government is not as important the other two. Topics: What is the family? Males are to dominate. God's love is seen in the nuclear family. Parents are responsible for their children. How this immorality is being employed in our day.
