The simple truth is that we were created for one purpose: God’s glory. In a time when so many are seeking a reason to live, this booklet offers a concise understanding of God’s desire to restore his nature to us, renewing our souls, so that we may reflect his glory in our words, our actions, and our very being.
Helps Christians to understand what it means to glorify God, and how that affects our everyday lives. Presented in an easy-to-understand booklet format. Part of the Basics of the Reformed Faith series, which introduces lay readers to Reformed distinctives.
Stephen Smallman has written a booklet to Christian parents about how to raise their children in a spirit of faith rather than anxiety. It all begins when parents bring their children to Jesus for his blessing. He then explains the meaning of regeneration and conversion as it relates to children raised in Christian families.
The doctrines of election and predestination are often misunderstood outside Reformed circles. This booklet clearly and simply explains these truths, showing their biblical basis and practical application.
An introduction to the Reformed view of Scripture, divine sovereignty, the covenant of grace, the law of God, the church, and the kingdom of God.
This practical introduction to Reformed spirituality encourages a God-centered mind, penitent spirit, grateful heart, submissive will, holy life, and glorious purpose.
Ever since Martin Luther, the famous sixteenth-century Reformer, nailed his ninety-five theses to the castle door of Wittenberg, the doctrine of justification by faith alone has been one of the great truths of the Reformed faith. In this concise booklet J. V. Fesko takes a fresh look at this critical doctrine, explaining biblical teaching, examining classic Reformed statements, and answering common questions.
This booklet explains the doctrine of justification in uncomplicated, non-technical language. It is part of the Basics of the Reformed Faith series, which introduces lay readers to Reformed distinctives.
Dr. Mike Milton defines the famous "Fifth Point of Calvinism" and distinguishes it from other theologies (including "once saved always saved") and encourages all of us to delight in this beautiful doctrine that brings assurance to the believer, hope for the prodigal, and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Few things distinguish Christian and secular worldviews with greater clarity than the doctrine of providence: that everything that happens is the outcome of the sovereign overruling of God—everything!.
What is Providence? examines this truth by observing how the Bible explains the complex lives of men and women as well as weighing opposing viewpoints, including Open Theism and Molinistic views of “middle knowledge.”
Thoroughly biblical, Gale guides us from Genesis to Revelation, laying out a spiritual, yet practical guide to standing daily against Satan and his schemes. Focusing on the redemptive work of Christ, he exposes Satan's tactics, and gives us a battle plan of resistance of standing and abiding in Christ.
What does Christianity have to do with real life? Ryken reveals the basis of a Christian worldview and describes how it affects one’s view of God, Creation, the family, the arts, and other issues.
Ever since the night Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper, this sacrament has played a central role in the faith and practice of the church. That is why it is odd that many believers think so little of the Lord’s Supper. “They seldom observe it and assign to it little significance,” Phillips writes. “They derive no assurance, and seek no grace, as they receive from the Lord’s Table. How remarkable this is!” The goal of this booklet is to help readers understand the biblical institution of this sacrament, the theological issues surrounding it, and the pastoral considerations for administering and receiving it.
With his personal and warm style, Stephen Smallman clearly explains the roles of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit in conversion. For many people who have been converted to Christ, they are "profoundly aware" that something spiritual has happened, but just what that "something" is, is still unclear. Whether you are a new convert or have been a believing Christian for some time, this booklet will be a help to bring you to a place of trusting yourself into the care of the Savior.
My goal in this little book is pastorally to explain the scriptural foundation for infant baptism. To do this I will first present the biblical support for infant baptism as I have presented it in new members’ and church officer training classes over the past twenty-five years. Then I will conclude by offering words of explanation that I have often used as a pastor during the administration of the ordinance. My goals are to help explain why we should baptize the infants of believing parents and also to help pastors better to know how to administer the sacrament in ways that are meaningful and helpful for their churches. Thus, I plan to present this material in terms that are accessible to laypersons and to leave technical discussions to able scholars in other books.What is Church Government? by Sean Michael Lucas Many people are Presbyterian without
having thought through what stands at the heart of Presbyterianism:
church polity. This booklet serves as a basic introduction to
Presbyterian church government useful for new members or officers
training classes as well as those investigating Presbyterianism for the
first time. What is Hell? by Christopher W. Morgan & Robert A. PetersonWould a loving God really send good
people to hell? What does the Bible actually teach about hell? How
should believing in hell affect us?What Is Vocation? by Stephen J. Nichols For some people, work is tedious and
boring—something to endure until the weekend arrives. For others, work
is everything; it consumes them and their time. The former find no
meaning or satisfaction in their jobs, the latter find too much—both
lack an eternal perspective, a biblical framework through which they
can evaluate what they spend most of their lives doing. What is Worship Music? by Paul S. JonesToo much of the debate surrounding
different worship styles center on personal music preferences. Paul
Jones, respected author on church musicianship and worship, takes one
step further back and asks the question ‘What is the music for?’. Looking at biblical and historical sources, he builds a structure to
help us all understand where we should be directing our energies and
attention - and how to increase the value of our worshipful singing. What Are Spiritual Gifts? by Vern S. PoythressSpiritual gifts, given by God, empower
believers to serve others in both the church and the world. However, our
own spiritual gifts today aren't always easy to identify. What gifts
are there? How should they be used? Which gifts apply to the apostolic
era? Which apply to us? What is the Atonement? by Richard D. PhillipsThe atonement, and its significance to
Christ's death on the cross, is a doctrine sadly fading from focus in
our modern evangelical churches. Yet Richard Phillips asserts that it is
a necessary truth for Christian salvation. As soon as we start to ask
questions like "How is Jesus the Christ?", "Why do we need a Savior?",
and "What did he do to save us?", the answers take us directly to
Christ's atoning work. What is Man? by A. Craig Troxel"Who am I?" All people, from all walks of
life, ask this question as they think about their purpose on earth.
Here Troxel extends the scope to all of mankind, and addresses the
question of what is man. Why Believe in God? by Daniel R. HydeWhat is Grace? by Sean Michael Lucas What is Discipleship? by Stephen Smallman Why God Gave Us a Book by Gene Edward Veith What is the Doctrine of Adoption? by Michael A. Milton Why Do We Have Creeds? by Burk Parsons
