A Life of Principled Obedience


Book Description

The essential elements of faithful Christian living.




Gentle and Lowly


Book Description

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Devoted to God's Church: Core Values for Christian Fellowship


Book Description

Being a Christian is not an individualistic or isolated activity. Believing also involves belonging. Being a Christian, by definition, involves belonging to the church. This is not a book full of ideas about how your church ought to change or what it needs to do in order to grow or to be successful. Rather it is about how we fit into our own church. There are hallmarks of church life that should be stamped on all our churches because they are applicable everywhere and anywhere -- New Testament values for any size of church, in any part of the world, at any time. Devoted to God's Church will serve to help new Christians understand what it is to be part of a church, and will also be a refreshing reminder to every Christian of what it should look like to belong to the family of God.




Living a Principled Life


Book Description

We have lost sight of the principles of life that guide us to holistic living. These principles are rooted in the Bible and have not changed through the centuries. They are rules without cracks, essential qualities, and the way people can live a dedicated life to themselves, others, and God. They provide freedom in how to live and direction in how to treat others. In every discipline, industry, or profession there is a language which is unique to its purpose, and this is the language for living a fulfilled life. It reveals to individuals, families, groups, churches, and businesses many essential principles to right living which are of inestimable value if used, and can cause a life to thrive. Each principle uses a story in Scripture to bring the principles to life and make easier to remember. The principle remains fresh in the context of the story and brings insight into how to apply it to life today. A principled life cannot be over-rated. It is a key element in the development of maturity in many areas of life.

Book Description

All Things Made New


Book Description

Numerous stories are told from John Flavel's life of how people 'happened to meet him' and came away deeply thankful to God, full of resolve to walk with Christ as a result. The same is true of encounters made with Flavel's writings, as in All Things Made New. Flavel spent almost his entire ministry in a busy town serving working people. He believed that the gospel impacts and shapes every thought, every feeling, every ambition, emotion, desire, success, tragedy and joy. Christ makes all things new for the believer, and teaches us to follow him with confidence, until that day when he truly renews all things. To read Flavel is to catch and to be changed by the same vision. Selected and Edited by Lewis Allen.




Discovering God's Will


Book Description

Sinclair Ferguson answers this question by showing how Gods will is shaped by his ultimate purposes for us. It is made known to us through his Word. At times discovering Gods will demands careful thought: it may require patience; it always demands a right attitude to God himself.




Precious Promises


Book Description

According to Dr Mark Dever, 'This little booklet is a devotional classic.' It contains a 'gospel map' that reveals the way to the 'riches of the covenant.' With great skill and an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Scripture, Joseph Alleine (c.1634-68) conveys the 'exceeding great and precious promises' of God, and sets them forth in such a way as to bring encouragement and delight to the Christian believer. He demonstrates how, by embracing these promises, the believer is enabled to overcome all the assaults of unbelief. 'Faith, ' he says, 'makes its claim to all the benefits of the covenant, and stirs up the soul to joy and thankfulness.' It is little wonder to learn that Alleine's treatment of God's precious promises has proved an effective balm to countless weary souls for more than 300 years.
