An Exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews;: With the Preliminary Exercitations

This work provides a detailed verse-by-verse exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews, a New Testament letter traditionally attributed to Paul but of uncertain authorship. The exposition aims to clarify the epistle's theological arguments, including its treatment of Christ's priesthood, the superiority of the new covenant, and the nature of faith. The preliminary exercitations—introductory essays—discuss historical and critical questions such as the epistle's original audience, its relationship to Old Testament texts, and the circumstances of its composition. The author draws on patristic and Reformation-era scholarship to offer a systematic interpretation, emphasizing doctrinal continuity and practical application for Christian readers. more

“Worship is a response to greatness. A man does not become a worshipper merely by saying, "Now I shall become a worshipper." That is impossible. That cannot be done. A man becomes a worshipper when he sees something great that calls forth his admiration or his worship. That is the only way worshippers are made. Worship answers to greatness.”

“So many times we come to Jesus in worship and ask Him for things that He already IS and has already done... What a concept to come into worship knowing who we are approaching...the absolute fullness of God, pleased to dwell in this Jesus whom we worship. He's already broken the chains...already seated us with Him...already invited us 'into the glorious'.”

“When you put biblical truth to the songs used in churches, you'll have the congregation leave singing the sermon. You'll have God's thoughts, things that are God-breathed, stuck in their heads. It's sad to think about a really catchy tune paired up with bad theology because that could, honestly, do a lot of damage in church.”
