“AND SAMPSON SAID TO THE YOUNG MAN WHO HELD HIM BY THE HAND, ‘LET ME FEEL THE PILLARS ON WHICH THE HOUSE RESTS, THAT I MAY LEAN AGAINST THEM’” (Judges 16:26, ESV) Mark Finely has rightly said that there are “seven basic teachings” on which God has built His church. “Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars.” These seven pillars are essential, and “the non-negotiables:” Scripture (John 17:17) Salvation (John 3:16) Second Coming (John 14:1-3) Sabbath (John 14:15) State of the Dead (John 11:11-26) Sanctuary (John 17:4, 11, 24) Holy Spirit and Spirit of Prophecy (John 14:15-17) (Prov. 9:1; Mark Finely, Solid Ground, p. 374) “The house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” is built on these seven pillars, 1 Tim. 3:15. Because of this, Dr. Norman identifies the church as an eight pillar. This eight pillar rests on the other seven “non-negotiables.” These “non-negotiables” are in turn rooted and grounded in Christ, and they define who we are as a biblical community of faith. Tragically though, great uncertainty concerning the pillars abound. The “non-negotiables” are under assault. And this assault will intensify as a mighty sifting sieve. “Those who seek to remove the old landmarks . . . bring in theories that would remove the pillars of our faith concerning the sanctuary . . . [they are] working as blind men . . . [they are] seeking to bring in uncertainties and to set the people of God adrift without an anchor,” (E. G. White, Manuscript Release No. 760. P. 9, 1905). If there ever was a time, we needed the resolve of Sampson, it is now! The author hopes that this book will inspire this resolve—a resolve that will lead us back to the pillars; back to the “non-negotiables.” Like Sampson, may we feel the pillars once again, and lean on “the non-negotiables” centered in Christ.

Motivated by repeated comments from parishioners, class members and even fellow clergy about difficulties in understanding the book of Revelation, the author set out to demonstrate that the book is a genuine "revelation," meant to be understood by God's people. The book title defines that goal; it really is a Magnificent Drama. The contents of Revelation are covered thoroughly but the book is no mere word-for-word commentary. Readers will think and feel with the Apostle John as he receives and records our Lord's messages about the future and into eternity. Extremes of the drama include a descent to the darkest depths of human history and will soar to unprecedented glory at the end. It's a breath-taking drama and as the word of God, it is all true, exciting reading. Ken Knappen, an ordained Baptist minister, earned Master of Arts and Doctor of Ministry degrees at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He was engaged in pastoral work for forty-four years including a six-year stint as a Conservative Baptist Association denominational staffer. Concurrent with active pastoral ministry, he served on numerous boards and committees including the National Association of Evangelicals' Board of Administration and as the vice-chair of the Buffalo/Niagara Falls Billy Graham crusade. For fourteen years following retirement in 1993, he and his wife, Mitzie, taught a Bible class in a United Methodist church.

There are many in the church today that believe God doesn't reveal Himself in the lives of people in this modern day. The prevalent thought is that miracles, signs, and wonders were only part of the early church and that after the ascension of Jesus they stopped because they were only a part of His earthly ministry. What we must come to realize is this; the same power that raised Christ from the grave, that healed people, and raised the dead resides within each Christian. Jesus said in John 14:12, "that whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." What we as Christians must understand is that the power of God is available to each of us because of the indwelling Holy Spirit. God expects us to use this wonderful gift to edify one another bringing about unity in the body which ultimately brings Glory to Him. I can assure you that the power of God is still at work in these days and He does continually reveal Himself to His people. Jesus Himself said He would do whatever we ask in His name to bring glory to the Father. Jesus also said if we won't believe what He says, we should at least believe in the evidence of the results themselves. Miracles, signs, and wonders.

All around the world, myths address questions that humans have always posed about their origins, their environments, their ultimate destinies, and the meanings of their lives. This book examines 30 common motifs that thread their way through mythological tales across history and around the globe. The themes are presented in alphabetical order, moving from The Afterlife and Animals in Myth to The Underworld, World Tree, and Ymir Motif. Each thematic section defines and discusses a single recognizable motif, compares a number of different mythological traditions, and traces the repeated occurrences of one of these patterns through several different categories of narratives. The discussion of The Afterlife, for example, examines the theme's earliest known occurrences in ancient Mesopotamia and compares them with those in Greek, Aztec, Norse, and other ancient cultures, as well as with contemporary views from Innuit and Polynesian cultures. A glossary provides concise definitions of recurring terms. A list of suggested readings on these topics will further aid students who desire to deepen their knowledge of world mythology.
