  • - God's Faithful Servant: A Brief Profile

    Great are the works of the Lord; They are studied by all who delight in them"" (Psalm 111:2, NASB).When treating the life of Moses the psalmist wrote: ""The Lord remembered His promise given to his servant Abraham, and brought His people out of Egypt with rejoicing, His chosen ones with shouts of joy. He also gave them the lands of the nations, that they might take possession of the fruit of other people's labor ..."" (Psalm 105:42-44)The story of the Exodus is an intriguing one. Moses first attempted to help his people without God's call, expecting success as a result of his own ability. In the end he never undertook anything without God's guidance, and it is no wonder that He is linked with Samuel as an example of the power of intercessory prayer (Jeremiah 15:1).As to Moses' character, the only strong personal trait which we are able to glean from the biblical text comes from Numbers 12:3, where the word ""meek"" should be rendered ""much enduring, or strength under control,"" for he persevered through extremely difficult, trying circumstances. It is no wonder, therefore, that after performing the task the Lord had given him, he became known as a man of enduring faith (cf. Hebrews 11:24-29).

    There is nothing but God's grace. We walk upon it; we breathe it; we live and die by it; it makes the nails and axles of the universe, concluded Robert Louis Stevenson. In 'Ruth: A Story of God's Grace, ' Cyril J. Barber trumpets God's grace. Grace leads Elimelech to Moab, brings Naomi back to Bethlehem, guides Ruth to Boaz's field, and directs Boaz to Ruth. Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace encircles the Book of Ruth. From the gracious acts of God Ruth's time, the author draws lessons for twentieth-century believers. He fathoms the importance of decision-making, the purpose of suffering, and the power of love. But the author does more than expound truths; he helps the reader understand the Bible text by explaining customs and word meanings. He also intersperses his own translation of Ruth throughout his commentary. Writing for the Bible student rather than the Bible scholar, Barber summarizes the Book of Ruth in a concise introduction, places all technical discussions and notes at the back, and provides two helpful indexes

  • - A Narrative of God's Power: An Expositional Commentary

    The book of Judges deals with a people who lost their freedom--not all at once, but gradually. The Israelites were content to let the neighboring inhabitants of Canaan rule over them. Judges clearly describes the reasons for this spiritual, moral, and national decline. It began with compromise. The people's commitment to God's revealed will steadily decreased until it was no longer sufficient for the crises that arose. It was at this time that God placed tremendous responsibility in the hands of a chosen few. Judges, more than any other book of the Bible, illustrates the way the power of God is available to ordinary people to accomplish His purposes. These men and women learned through their experiences that to those who have no might, he increases power (Isaiah 40:29). This should inspire us with confidence, particularly as we read this book in light of the apostle Paul's words: Not that we are competent in ourselves to reckon anything as from ourselves, but our competency is of God . . . in order that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us (2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:7).
