"Sola Scriptura, the formal principle of the Protestant Reformation, is essential to genuine Christianity, for it declares that the Bible is the inspired word of God, the church's only rule of faith and practice. Yet this doctrine is under assault today as never before, both from outside and and inside the church. In this book, several leading Reformed pastors and scholars, including Joel Beeke, Sinclair Ferguson, Robert Godfrey, Ray La ..."
"SummaryThe apostle Paul declared that "what we preach" was "folly" in the eyes of many in his time (1 Cor. 1:21). Such is always the world's response to the gospel. But in our day, it seems that the method behind Paul's message—preaching—is itself an object of ridicule, even within the evangelical church. In an age of short attention spans and entertainment "consumers," many churches are yielding to pressure to set aside preaching in th ..."

your mind to good use, meditating on God and His attributes. If there was an 11th
commandment for the Puritans, ... Dr. R. C. Sproul wrote a foreword to Jeremiah
Burroughs' A Treatise on Earthly ~Min ..."

"The Puritans have been described even by secular observes as "physicians of the soul." They understood that body and soul need healing from time to time, and they wisely treated body problems with physical solutions, and soul problems with spiritual solutions. The spiritual malady of depression (melancholy or "low spiritual frames") is wisely dealt with by the Puritans on both levels, as it can have both physical and spiritual causes. T ..."
"On November 20, 1717, Thomas Foxcroft presented a message on faithful gospel ministry and was strongly petitioned to have it published as a book. However, Foxcroft had not delivered this message at a conference for pastors, but at his own ordination. His intention was not so much to show his congregation what a proper minister should be like, but rather to attempt to press upon himself the importance and responsibility of the ministry f ..."
"This is one of our all-time bestselling books, over 12,000 copies sold thus far. As some stray from the long-held Reformation view and understanding of justification by faith alone, we felt it necessary to add a new chapter by Don Kistler."

In the second Polhill explains the nature of God's will and the eternal decrees of election and predestination. In the third work, he chronicles the life of faith culminating in a discussion of the assurance of faith. In the last work he shows how Christians to ..."
"One of the things that most grieves the heart of a Christian parent is an unsaved child. No parent with a beating heart can long endure the notion of being eternally separated from the child they love. It was this concern that prompted Edward Lawrence, a 17th century Puritan pastor, to write this booklet to his own children. In 7 short chapters he shows them his loving heart and desire for their salvation and provides practical exhortat ..."

These are the very questions Thomas Boston addresses in this timeless book. This book includes an introduction and a study guide to maximize the impact of this classic work."
"Sola Scriptura, the formal principle of the Protestant Reformation, is essential to genuine Christianity, for it declares that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the church's only rule of faith and practice. Yet this doctrine is under assault today as never before, both from outside and and inside the church. In manifold ways, both blatant and subtle, the idea is being put forth that the Bible is inadequate for the needs of modern m ..."
"Several noted scholars and ministers revisit the issue of faith and works, insisting on the preeminence of faith, but calling for a life of obedience in response to love for Christ that is reflected in good works."
"A compilation of essays on the doctrine upon which the church and the individual stands or falls. There can be no other doctrine that is more important than the doctrine of justification by faith alone."

" Whom having not seen, ye love... - 1 Peter 1:8 Love to Christ is essential to true Christianity. Without love, faith lies dead, like a body without a soul. While many claim to be Christians, their lack of love for Christ proves that they know nothing of Christianity's true nature. Therefore Christ demands love from all His disciples, knowing the transforming power it has over the souls of men. In The True Christian's Love to the Unseen ..."
