Praise for the Print Edition
John G. Butler, longtime pastor and Bible commentator, is to be commended for his affirmation, alliteration, and application of the biblical text. He provides a treasure chest of biblical truth for the teacher and preacher of the Word of God. I gladly recommend his writings.
—Dr. Franklin L. Kirksey, Pastor, Teacher, Mentor, Writer, Author of Sound Biblical Preaching: Giving the Bible a Voice
I know of no finer collection of resources than Butler. No library is complete without these uncompromising gems of wisdom. After reading the Bible text itself, my next step is always to consult Butler. They are absolutely essential to my Bible study.

Top Highlights
“the Word of God. The emphasis on ‘gift’ is very noticeable in this section of the conversation dealing” (Page 86)
“Arthur Pink has an instructive comment on the ‘must’ in this precept for worship which we record here. He says, ‘There are three ‘musts’ in this Gospel [of John], equally important and unequivocal. In John 3:7 we read, ‘Ye must be born again.’ In John 3:14, ‘The Son of man must be lifted up.’ In John 4:24, ‘God must be worshiped in spirit and in truth.’ It is indeed striking to observe that the first of these has reference to the work of God the Spirit, for He is the One who effects the new birth. The second ‘must’ has reference to God the Son, for He was the One who had to die in order for atonement to be made. The third ‘must’ respects God the Father, for He is the object of worship, the One who ‘seeketh’ worshipers.’” (Page 97)
“Christ was not weary of the work but weary in the work—there is a big difference.” (Page 85)
“The crowd is especially a big hindrance to mankind spiritually” (Page 372)
