About This Product
These papers appeared originally in the Messages of God’s Love periodical and were intended to help young believers. These simple expressions of deep, divine truth have just as much value today as when they were written. We have made a significant effort to edit the material to be closer to today’s style of speech, building on the base of clear and simple thoughts expressed by the author.
Each chapter is short and can be read by the average reader in 2‑3 minutes. The simple style allows you to focus on the message and not on trying to understand complicated sentences or thoughts.
Every chapter is tied to a portion of Matthew’s Gospel working its way from the first to last chapter. Don’t expect to find each Bible passage to be the same length. However the majority are short passages that don’t exceed twenty verses. The comments are by no means exhaustive, but rather supplement a reading of God’s word with helpful thoughts.
Every chapter ends with a section meant to encourage further meditation. Generally, the first question in this section reviews a point made in the chapter. The second gives some direction in meditating more on the passage. Usually the final point provides a suggestion for another resource that would help develop an important theme of the chapter in greater depth.
This is the second volume in the Bible Talks series with several more planned this year. You can enjoy The Servant’s Heart: Bible Talks on Mark and The Divine Son: Bible Talks on John currently and in the first half of next year, Lord willing, a volume on Exodus by Gordon Hayhoe.
