| jimmy swaggart free bible: Romans: Jimmy Swaggart Bible Commentary Jimmy Swaggart, 1996 ROMANS BIBLE COMMENTARY After nearly 40 years of full-time ministry, Brother Swaggart published his first commentary on the book of Genesis that was later described as “the most helpful Bible commentary ever published.” It would take nearly 20 years to complete the entire commentary series—from Genesis to Revelation. True to Pentecostal theology, the Jimmy Swaggart Commentary collection leads its readers chapter by chapter to a better understanding of the Bible. Rather than providing notes on every Bible verse, these commentaries focus on the salient verses of each chapter to offer the reader a condensed synopsis of what the Holy Spirit intended. Where most relevant, cultural and historical references are also included, along with explanations of the allegories, types, and symbolisms used in the Bible to add depth and dimension for students of the Holy Scriptures. Yet, what seems to separate this work from all other commentaries are the biblical applications made to present day circumstances facing every believer. Printed on high-quality paper and bound with a beautiful hardback cover, this unique reference will be cherished by anyone who loves to study the Word of God. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: The Rapture of the Church Jimmy Swaggart, 2019 When God speaks, His word always comes to pass, and according to the Bible, the next great event to take place is the rapture—also known as the resurrection—something the modern church knows little to nothing about. When will this great catching away take place? When the trump of God sounds, who exactly will be transformed, in the twinkling of an eye, to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air? And once the rapture takes place, what happens next? These and many other questions are answered in this riveting book by Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart who walks his readers through the Scriptures to explain this glorious event that will bring inexplicable joy to some while striking fear in the hearts of those left behind. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: The Message of the Cross Jimmy Swaggart, 2013 For several months, prior to publication, some people were asking that we should write this book and that it be entitled, “The Message Of The Cross”. • I believed then and now that their request was from the Lord. Consequently, this book is the result of that need. • This Message, “The Message Of The Cross” is the single most important Message of the Word in any language. The Salvation of the soul and how we live for God is important beyond comprehension. • I feel every Believer will be greatly strengthened in the Word if they will avail themselves of this publication. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: The Five Offerings of Leviticus Jimmy Swaggart, 2021-07-06 Without proper sacrifice, there can be no forgiveness, so where does that leave sinful man? He needs a sacrifice to remove his guilt, cleanse him from his defilements, and fit him for the holy presence of God. In the Old Testament, under Levitical law, it took five offerings—whole burnt, sin, trespass, peace, and meal—to properly portray the one offering of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. So what made these offerings significant? Drawing from the ancient pages of the Pentateuch, Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart unearths the true meaning under these five offerings that were instructed by God Himself to Moses—offerings that portrayed the perfection, the glory, and the power of Jesus Christ. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: Amazing Grace Jimmy Swaggart, 2019-12-10 The relationship between God and man hinges on faith—the unseen evidence that eludes countless souls. That’s why, throughout the ages, God has called men to proclaim His gospel message with an anointing, a boldness, and a fire that ignites the measure of faith in every human heart. At the age of eight, God called Jimmy Lee Swaggart for the purpose of world evangelism. In the tiny town of Ferriday, Louisiana, his Spirit-filled grandmother told him, “Jimmy, you will see a harvest of souls such as the world has never seen before.” Indeed, he did see it, and so did we. But before God placed Jimmy Swaggart before the masses, He first raised him up to preach—on the streets of Louisiana, inside rural churches, into a radio mic, and, eventually, in front of a television camera. Today, the iconic evangelist preaches to the largest audience of his 62-year ministry—nearly 2 billion people—and his revelatory message is not only one of salvation, but also sanctification through Jesus Christ and Him crucified. In his own words, and in his own way, Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart now tells his personal story of God’s amazing grace. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: Catholicism & Christianity Jimmy Swaggart, 2020-03-20 There are more than 50 million Roman Catholics in the United States…over one billion in the entire world. Most see their Roman Catholic traditions and the Christian faith as one and the same. Yet the sad fact is that there are vast differences between Catholicism and Christianity. Christianity was founded not as an institution, but as a witness to Jesus Christ. It is Christ, not Christianity, that has the power to change lives. Catholicism arose from the ruins of the Roman Empire. It brought itself to power through the glory of Rome by deception and force. And by force and bloodshed it has maintained that power throughout the years. Millions of people around the world are following an institution, without the slightest understanding of the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ. This powerful book examines each of the basic tenets of Catholicism and compares them against the standards and precepts of the Word of God. It is an enlightening look behind the scenes into the history of the Catholic church and the establishment of its power throughout the ages. It is also a book of hope and promise as it lays bare the institution and proclaims the Person of Jesus Christ. It is a book that every Catholic must read and every Christian should read. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: Brother Swaggart, How Can I Understand the Bible Jimmy Swaggart, 2020-03-19 Jesus said: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God” (Mat. 4:4). The Word of God is, pure and simple, the single most important thing on the face of the Earth. As someone has rightly said: • Much Bible, much Freedom! • A little Bible, a little Freedom! • No Bible, no Freedom! In his book, “Brother Swaggart, How Do I Understand the Bible?”, Brother Swaggart has tried his best to address every major Doctrine given to us in the Word of God. This is material that is necessary for every Believer to know and understand. Hopefully, we have addressed these great subjects in the Word of God in such a way to make it simple and easy to comprehend. The following are some of the subjects addressed: • The Doctrine Of The Bible • The Doctrine Of Grace • The Doctrine Of “Justification By Faith” • The Doctrine Of Our Lord Jesus Christ • The Doctrine Of Satan • The Doctrine Of Sin • The Doctrine Of The Baptism With The Holy Spirit |

| jimmy swaggart free bible: Swaggart Ann Rowe Seaman, 2001-04-01 By 1987 Swaggart was one of the most popular video preachers in the world, with a weekly television audience of 2.1 million in the US and a worldwide audience of millions more in 143 countries. But then, in a cheerless motel west of New Orleans, Jimmy's life and ministry took a calamitous turn. This the tale of the rise of two intimately linked colossi of the American century: Pentecostalism, the fastest growing religious movement in the world, and its evil twin, Rock 'n' Roll. A major theme of the book is how the religious ecstasy of Pentecostalism - the rousing music, the speaking in tongues, the reception of the Spirit - combined with its severe sexual repression leads to the kind of furtive acting out that brought down not only Jimmy Swaggart but also other evangelists. It is the story, too, of the rapid rise of the Religious Right, with its competing personalities and ideologies. In the end, the author sees Jimmy as a victim - like many others - of a primitive faith colliding with the forces of the late 20th century fame. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: PTL John Wigger, 2017-07-06 In 1974 Jim and Tammy Bakker launched their television show, the PTL Club, from a former furniture store in Charlotte, N.C. with half a dozen friends. By 1987 they stood at the center of a ministry empire that included their own satellite network, a 2300-acre theme park visited by six million people a year, and millions of adoring fans. The Bakkers led a life of conspicuous consumption perfectly aligned with the prosperity gospel they preached. They bought vacation homes, traveled first-class with an entourage and proclaimed that God wanted everyone to be healthy and wealthy. When it all fell apart, after revelations of a sex scandal and massive financial mismanagement, all of America watched more than two years of federal investigation and trial as Jim was eventually convicted on 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy. He would go on to serve five years in federal prison. PTL is more than just the spectacular story of the rise and fall of the Bakkers, John Wigger traces their lives from humble beginnings to wealth, fame, and eventual disgrace. At its core, PTL is the story of a group of people committed to religious innovation, who pushed the boundaries of evangelical religion's engagement with American culture. Drawing on trial transcripts, videotapes, newspaper articles, and interviews with key insiders, dissidents, and lawyers, Wigger reveals the power of religion to redirect American culture. This is the story of a grand vision gone wrong, of the power of big religion in American life and its limits. |

| jimmy swaggart free bible: The Expositor's Word for Every Day Jimmy Swaggart, 2011 This is, we believe, the most unique Daily Devotional in the world today. All 366 Messages, one for each day of the year (including leap year), in some way deal with the Cross of Christ. Consequently, the wealth of Doctrine, help, strength, encouragement, and blessing carried in this Volume is, we think, exceptional. It addresses modern-day problems, which can be solved only by the age-old remedy of the Word of God. |

| jimmy swaggart free bible: Stunned by Scripture Dr. John S. Bergsma, Ph.D., 2018-01-23 The Pope, devotion to Mary, confession ... just where are these topics in the Bible? Why does the Catholic Church seem to focus on so many things that aren’t Scriptural? Or so thought former Protestant pastor John Bergsma. Stunned by Scripture: How the Bible Made Me Catholic is an engaging examination of the things Dr. Bergsma once considered obstacles to ever becoming Catholic himself. Over an eighteen-month spiritual journey, Bergsma was stunned again and again by the biblical support he found for even the stickiest teachings of the Catholic Church. Weaving his personal story into clear explanations of Catholic teachings as found in Scripture, Dr. Bergsma explores seven key Catholic doctrines, including: The Pope Devotion to Mary Confession The Eucharist The priesthood Belief in the Bible alone Salvation by faith alone theologies Stunned by Scripture will help Catholics understand, defend, and explain the biblical basis for the Faith and show them how the Bible solidly supports even the most frequently misunderstood Catholic teachings. |

| jimmy swaggart free bible: Philippians John F. MacArthur, 2015-12-29 Circumstances... They are not all they're cracked up to be. For instance, Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians from a Roman prison cell, yet despite those dire circumstances, his major theme in the letter was joy How did Paul find joy in a Roman prison cell? He didn't! He took his joy in Christ into jail with him. Paul's circumstances did not dictate his attitude. In this letter, he demonstrated several life attitudes that were shocking in their audacity and counter intuitiveness: Rejoice in the Lord, always Living means living for Christ, and dying is even better Think of others as better than yourselves Whatever things were gain, count them as loss You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you! —ABOUT THE SERIES— The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur. Each guide provides intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture by examining its parts and incorporates: Extensive, but straight-forward commentary on the text.

| jimmy swaggart free bible: The New Covenant Jimmy Swaggart, What Jesus Christ did at the cross is what formulated the new covenant and made it a viable force. In this revelatory book, Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart takes his readers from the law given at Mount Sinai to the grace of Calvary’s cross. Though many in the church today still see Him as the law-giver, this Bible-based book shows the Lord Jesus Christ as the forgiver of sins, the Saviour of the world, and the very person of the new covenant. Believers who dare to follow the new covenant and all of its teachings will reap God’s blessing, His favor, and everlasting victory. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: Here Comes Kitty Richard Jacob Kraft, Danielle Dutton, 2015 In this wildly irreverent collage narrative, Los Angeles artist Richard Kraft reassembles a pre-perestroika era comic about a Polish spy infiltrating the Nazis, orchestrating a multiplicity of voices into joyous cacophony. Like an Indian miniature painting, each comic book page is densely layered, collapsing foreground and background, breaking the frame and merging time. An enormous cast of characters emerges as Kraft appropriates images and texts from an extraordinary variety of sources (the Amar Chitra Katha comics of Hindu mythology, Jimmy Swaggart's Old and New Testament stories, the 1960s English football annual Scorcher, underground porn comics like Cherry, images from art history, outdated encyclopedias and more). Kraft constructs a world constantly in flux, rich with dark humor and revelatory nonsense. Writer Danielle Dutton's set of 16 interpolations punctuate the book using similar strategies of appropriation and juxtaposition to create texts that sing in the same arresting register as Kraft's collages. Here Comes Kitty also includes a conversation between poet Ann Lauterbach and artist Richard Kraft. |

| jimmy swaggart free bible: The Truth Shall Make You Free Samuel W. Whitehead, 2020-10-13 Sam Whitehead was raised in a strict religious family and was a teenage preacher. At age twenty-two he began a forty-year quest of research and reflection to prove that his faith was the one true religion and that God was real. He reluctantly came to the conclusion that there is no God and that no religion is true. Staunch believers in God and readers who are trying to find their own truth will find Sam's journey compelling. It moves from Alabama to Ohio and back to the Deep South in Atlanta. This serious work challenges believers to live up to their creed and reflects the humor in many situations along the way. Sam holds an MBA degree from Georgia State University with a major in finance. He retired from a lengthy and varied career with one of the largest petroleum transportation companies in the world. Most of his work was in human resources management and public affairs. |

Kess, 1986-01-01 The research reported in this volume attempts to refine our understanding of persuasive messages of television advertising by studying the role of language in persuasion in two ways. First, it comprises an attempt to refine our understanding of how language might function in persuasion by examining relevant work from a variety of related disciplines, potentially germane either in terms of their theoretical approaches to the process or in terms of the actual linguistic techniques which they have suggested as enhancing the persuasive impact of a message. Second, a comparative study was undertaken in order to test the generalizability of the linguistic features found to characterize persuasive language in television advertising. |

| jimmy swaggart free bible: Bible Controversies Resolved Roy D Perkins, 2023-05-24 This book consists of sixty-two chapters of Bible controversies resolved with total objectivity by the writer. Subjective feelings were left out. The writer speaks of the most taboo of subjects. Pastors and theologians have argued these controversies for centuries. In actuality, these controversies are not controversies at all; people just made arguments out of what they believe are questionable. This book explains, in plain language, these issues that have become so argumentative. The writer is “on board” with almost all of them; he disagrees with about 2 percent of these issues but cannot argue with scriptural truths. When discerning facts from fiction concerning these issues, the writer successfully suppresses his subjective feelings and is willing to admit that his prior thinking might not have been correct; he can admit when he is wrong. Most people cannot do this because of pride, stubbornness, tradition, the clergy, and ignorance. In this book, the writer attempts to open the eyes, ears, and minds of the readers. Just because churches have done it the same way for centuries, it doesn’t make the churches right. Just because a bunch of PhDs and theological experts have put their stamps of approval on the issues, it doesn’t make them right. PhD stands for “piled higher and deeper.” Someone once said that the definition of an expert is “one who learns more and more about less and less; pretty soon, he knows everything about nothing.” In the book, the writer backs up what he says with scriptural references. In the book, the reader can explore one revelation after another about supposedly controversial subjects. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: Disgraced Suzanna Krivulskaya, 2025 Disgraced is a sweeping religious and cultural history of U.S. Protestant sex scandals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From the birth of the modern press to the advent of the internet age, the book traces the public downfalls of religious leaders who purported to safeguard the morality of the nation. Along the way, Protestant ministers' private transgressions journeyed from the privilege of silence to the spectacle of sensationalism. At first hesitant to report on sexual misconduct among the clergy in order to protect the reputation of Protestantism writ large, newspapers embraced the genre of pastoral scandal in the 1870s, when the biggest celebrity minister of the era stood trial for adultery. Scandal reporting escalated in the following decades, creating multiple publicity crises, the likes of which continue to plague churches to this day. As Protestant institutions struggled to protect their reputations in light of scandals' revelations, they turned to secrecy and silencing-often foregoing opportunities for engaging in productive reckoning with the problem of sexual hypocrisy among their clergy. Sex scandals, it turns out, have not been mere aberrations in the history of modern Protestantism; they have, in fact, been constitutive of its development. Using the understudied intersection of scandal and religion, Disgraced explains how the persistence of stories about misbehaving Protestant ministers allowed the press to compete with the pulpit as a source of moral authority, forced denominations to confront the problems that scandal exposed, and emboldened sustained public scrutiny of religious piety-- |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: Religious Liberty: The free exercise clause Douglas Laycock, 2010 One of the most respected and influential scholars of religious liberty in our time, Douglas Laycock has argued many crucial religious liberty cases in the U.S. appellate courts and Supreme Court. His noteworthy scholarly and popular writings are being collected in four comprehensive volumes under the title Religious Liberty. This first volume gives the big picture of religious liberty in the United States, fitting a vast range of disparate disputes into a coherent pattern - from public school prayers to private school vouchers to regulation of churches and believers. Laycock's clear overviews provide the broad, historical, helpful context often lacking in today's press. |

| jimmy swaggart free bible: God Is Back John Micklethwait, Adrian Wooldridge, 2009-04-02 A landmark examination of the resurgence of faith around the globe The Editor in Chief of The Economist and its Lexington columnist show how the global rise of religion will dramatically impact our century in God Is Back. Contrary to the popular assumption that modernism would lead to the rejection of faith, American-style evangelism has sparked a global revival. On the street and in the corridors of power the authors shine a bright light on a vast yet until now hidden world of religion. Twenty-first-century faith is being fueled by a very American emphasis on competition and a customer-driven attitude toward salvation. Revealing how the religion boom is destabilizing politics and the global economy, God Is Back concludes by showing how the same American ideas that created our unique religious style can be applied to channel the rising tide of faith away from volatility and violence. |
| jimmy swaggart free bible: Christianity Made in Japan Mark R. Mullins, 1998-10-01 For centuries the accommodation between Japan and Christianity has been an uneasy one. Compared with others of its Asian neighbors, the churches in Japan have never counted more than a small minority of believers more or less resigned to patterns of ritual and belief transplanted from the West. But there is another side to the story, one little known and rarely told: the rise of indigenous movements aimed at a Christianity that is at once made in Japan and faithful to the scriptures and apostolic tradition. Christianity Made in Japan draws on extensive field research to give an intriguing and sympathetic look behind the scenes and into the lives of the leaders and followers of several indigenous movements in Japan. Focusing on the native response rather than Western missionary efforts and intentions, it presents varieties of new interpretations of the Christian tradition. It gives voice to the unheard perceptions and views of many Japanese Christians, while raising questions vital to the self-understanding of Christianity as a truly world religion. This ground-breaking study makes a largely unknown religious world accessible to outsiders for the first time. Students and scholars alike will find it a valuable addition to the literature on Japanese religions and society and on the development of Christianity outside the West. By offering an alternative approach to the study and understanding of Christianity as a world religion and the complicated process of cross-cultural diffusion, it represents a landmark that will define future research in the field. |
