Top Highlights

“This phrase ‘exceeding fierce’ in Matthew 8:28 is actually a translation of this very same Greek word chalepos” (Page 453)

“This word philautos is the picture of complete self-absorption, self-focus, self-preoccupation, and self-love. When you pile all these words on top of each other—the words eimi, meaning I am, and the word philautos, depicting inordinate self-consumption and self-love—the message is plain: In the last days, society will be utterly consumed with itself.” (Page 460)

“The declaration of God’s Word from the pulpit is another form of spiritual warfare” (Page 875)

“Studies reveal that the more often children practice fantasy, virtual acts of violence on video games, the more likely it becomes that they will carry out real-world acts of violence. These violent games have been compared to simulators used in military training. Players—often very young children—are cast in the roles of shooters, earning points and commendations for each ‘kill.’ Consequently, children are being conditioned to expect violence to produce a corresponding reward.” (Page 480)

“‘breaking bread’ was translated from a Greek phrase used to denote sharing a wonderful meal and a time of fellowship and relaxation with friends. It was such a common phrase that even heathens used it when they wanted to experience a time of fellowship with others.” (Page 1127)
