Time To Major In The Minors

Let's   Major In The Minors - Rev. Teddy A. Jones Published Nov. 30, 2018 by TLZ Publishers. 110 Pages Available in Paperback and Kindle on Amazon .  Major In The Minor s! You saw that right, "Let's Major In The Minors". The popular advice, and contextually good advice, is "Stop Majoring In The Minors!" This book reverses the script by challenging us to debunk the notion that the brevity of the 5 books of the Bible that have only chapter relegates them to a lesser place of importance. These books though 'minor' contain major messages. In fact this is an invitation to ponder the idea that given their brevity there is a clue to be pursued.   The pearl inside this oyster is the fact the weighty theological themes and Biblical core matters they highlight indicate clearly to us their importance to God who inspired the writers.   In other words, it is as though God said, "I have one chapter to send a clear message about my nature a...

Beware of Human Effort

Beware of Human Effort By Napoleon Black TEXT (Gal. 3:3) After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? NIV Only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God. If you weren't smart enough or strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it?

NLT COMMENTARY Sometimes, we look at the Galatian saints and are surprised that they could have fallen the way they did. The crux of the fall is found in this very verse.

There is that constant danger which challenges us, that we want to slip back into bad habits of trying to please God by our efforts, rath...

Let's Major In The Minors

Let's Major In The Minors? Really now? Teddy Jones offers us a trenchant analysis from God's word spoken to the prophet Obadiah centuries ago. Obadiah is one of these so called minor prophets and to make matters worse his writing contains only one chapter. The same is true for the four other Bible books that are only one chapter long. This has caused these books to be largely ignored as minor and not having much spiritual value. Pastor, Lecturer, Mentor and Theologian, Teddy A. Jones shows how inaccurate this perception is by pointing out in this exposition series that, although these books do not perhaps provide much in the way of a biography of each author – the content of what they spoke was not only vitally important to the peoples of that era, but they also raise very major issues that are absolutely relevant to believers today, thus the need to major in them and debunk the prejudicial nomencalture of minor.  Teddy Jones is adamant that the message of the one chapter a...
