The Seven Huge Benefits of Joining our Study Tour of the Lands of the Book: 1. START WEEKLY FOCUSED GROWTH: We want to cover one of the 52 sites, each week with you. We will help you locate where we are going in your Bible, then on a map, as well as in the Chronological flow of either the Life of Christ & the Apostles, the Life of David & the Prophets, or the Life of the Patriarchs. This regular contact builds the motivation to stay in the Word, stay on track to make life applications from our readings, and ask God each week to change us. 2. DO LIFE-TRANSFORMING DEVOTIONALS: Usefulness to God comes by sanctification, sanctification comes by God’s Word, and this virtual study tour is WORD-BASED. We will explain how you take an hour each week to read the passages associated with that site. Mark the PLACE/SITE we are visiting in the margin of your Bible. Then do a prescribed DEVOTIONAL journaled study of that site. Then you watch a video of me explaining and applying the spiritual implications of this lace we are visiting this week. 3. SEE ALL 260+ EVENTS OF CHRIST’S LIFE: As we visit sites in the Holy Land, we track through the 89 chapters of the Four Gospels using a chart that puts each event in chronological order. You will get to finally see how all the events in each Gospel account fit together to make the Life of Christ into a beautiful and complete picture as never before. Of the sites, we will visit, 70% of them reflect directly on the Life of Christ & the Apostles of the Early Church. So, we will cover what is usually a Seminary level Life of Christ course looking at the 250+ events in the Life of Christ and seeing the big picture of His ministry, His Seven Sign miracles, and the revelation of His seven great “I AM” names in the Gospels. 4. UNDERSTAND BIBLICAL PROPHECY: Would you like to really UNDERSTAND End Times Prophecies and God’s plans for Earth? Did you know that the vast majority of the OT prophecies of the TRIBULATION, SECOND COMING & MILLENNIUM are CENTERED on Israel and most of all on JERUSALEM? Did you know that Revelation chapters 7, 11, 13, 14, 16, 19, 20-22 all focus on the Land of Israel? We will see, study, and apply the greatest prophetic classroom in existence—the Land of Israel. 5. EXPERIENCE FAITH-BUILDING CHAPTERS: There are seven reasons you can trust the Bible and all of them are POWERFULLY illustrated in the Land of the Book. So many times, over the years I have seen folks on our tours when it finally struck them—THE BIBLE IS TRUE. This all really happened, and I am seeing with my own eyes the reality of the BOOK I CAN TRUST--God’s Word. We will see those seven reasons in-- Christ’s belief in the Bible, His apostles' complete trust in God’s Word, the fulfilled prophecies, the scientific accuracy & archaeological verification, the unified message of the Bible, and the incredible endurance of God’s Word and His Chosen people. 6. GRASP A THEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK: The Context of all my Bible Teaching and Q&A’s is that my answers are based on a framework of being: 1). Evangelical (must be saved by calling personally on the Lord, not by association but by the reception of Christ); 2). Inerrantist (trust the Scriptures that Jesus believed and affirmed every word, person, and event); 3). Cessationist (Revelation of Scripture ended God does not tell people inspired, inerrant things anymore); 4). Imputationist (Christ alone, not a church or experience or administered sacrament); 5). Creationist (God wrote with His own finger in stone (Ex 20:8-11) that He framed everything from nothing in six literal solar days) God made everything perfect in the Universe, then allowed some to fall into sin. 6). Catastrophist (Noah’s Flood); God flooded the surface of the Earth and killed all air-breathing animals and people that were not in His Ark of Safety built by Noah. 7). Maximalist (every historic, prophetic & scientific statement is true); 8). Dispensationalist (Israel is not the Church, God has unbreakable plans for both). 7. GET A BIBLICAL PANORAMA OF HISTORY: Finally, you will see how the people and events in the Bible actually fit squarely within a scientific and historical Chronology. All of a sudden the history of the world will make sense and so will God’s plan for the future—and for YOUR life!

Salvation is amazing. Through seven divine works of God, guilty sinners are made ready for dwelling in the Presence of God forever, and their bodies formerly slaves to sin instantly become the very dwelling place, and the temple of God. How does God do all that? He does it through the seven elements that make up the Gift of Salvation. As we open again to Romans 5, remember again what God does in each of us who believe: In FORGIVENESS: God removes my debts. Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace In JUSTIFICATION: God changes my State. Romans 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. In REGENERATION: God transforms my Heart. Ezekiel 36:26-27 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. In RECONCILIATION: God becomes my Friend. Romans 5:10-11 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. In ADOPTION: God Changes my Family. Romans 8:14-15 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” In REDEMPTION: God changes my ownership. I Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. In SANCTIFICATION: God Changes my Behavior. Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. To apply these great truths to our daily lives, we need to decide that we will: OPEN THE GIFT OF JUSTIFICATION Because of our sin—we are all guilty convicts in God’s sight; so we need justification. Jesus died to take guilty convicts and destroy any record that they ever committed a crime and takes their place in the punishment—that’s justification! A Sinner stands before God as accused and is declared righteous by His imputed righteousness. In Justification, we go from being accused and guilty before God to being righteous and with no record of wrongs! We need to experience what the Scriptures often declare—God has once and for all through Christ’s sacrifice justified us. That means that He has accused us, declared us guilty of sin, and then made us righteous and forever deleted the record of all our wrongs. Turn over to Romans 8 and see how Paul applies the truth of our justification: Romans 8:33-34 “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” I have been justified and by Christ justifying me and because the record has been erased —I am free forever from condemnation.

Few things fire the imagination like ancient Egypt’s fabled buried treasures, golden tombs, and King Tut. That’s why this week the world of ancient history and archaeology was stunned by what is hailed as the greatest discovery of the century. Archaeologists have found two hidden passageways, off the fabled tomb of King Tut. For 3,340 years those rooms have silently waited for discovery. They were always in plain sight but hidden from the eyes of all who did not look closely. That reminds us how easy it is to be: Missing Hidden Treasures in Familiar Places Finally, the great British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves sat and examined closely the wall painting in hi-res photographs, and proposed that he saw two doors outlined in the walls. This week ground-penetrating radar and other electronic instruments confirmed not only the two rooms but also the presence of both organic and metallic materials behind the walls. Wow, treasure rooms in plain sight, missed by all but one diligent observer. History records some other amazing events; times when people have walked over treasures of immense value—usually without even knowing it. That is often what happens when we get so used to a place that we can walk almost without noticing anything around us. Ever Heard of the Comstock Lode? There’s a similar bit of American History that has always fascinated me. Gold was found at the head of Six-Mile Canyon in the territory of Nevada in 1859 by two miners named Pat McLaughlin and Peter O'Reilly. A fellow miner, Henry Comstock, stumbled upon their find and claimed it was on his property. The gullible McLaughlin and O'Reilly believed him and assured Comstock a place in history when the giant lode was named. Soon multitudes of treasure-seeking miners, lured by gold fever, began following the vein of gold up the canyon. They spent each day slogging their way up and down that narrow Six Mile Canyon chipping the outcropping of gold encased in quartz. Though they labored feverishly it was slow going for two reasons—the quartz was so hard to break, and the only way to their mining claims was that unusual canyon filled with strange, heavy, almost glue-like mud, its entire length. Day after day miners complained that the biggest problem in this grubstake paradise was the sticky blue-gray mud that clung to their boots, their wagons, their picks, and shovels. But they slogged on day after day and week after week. It seemed like their feet were covered with lead and the tools would become too heavy to lift the longer they worked. Finally, one miner new on the scene saw the mud differently. He immediately scraped the mud off his boot at the assayer’s office and asked for an analysis of why it was so heavy. When the mud was assayed, it proved to be silver ore worth over $2,000 a ton in 1859 dollars! That was a dollar per shovel full then or at 2022 silver prices it was equal to--$100 for every shovel scooped up and hauled away. No wonder some of the legendary California fortunes like the Crocker Bank of California and the William Randolph Heart empire both began here. The rest is history. They had all been walking through the Comstock Lode. Beneath their feet, in the sticky blue-gray mud that day in 1859 laid $400,000,000.00 worth of silver. The common mud that thousands of miners had walked on for months was the greatest lode of silver ever discovered in all of history. Far more valuable than the gold they had feverishly chipped from the hard quartz veins in the mountain sides, was the silver-laden mud. All they had to do was stop and scoop it up!
