About this listen
Worshiptainment: The Modern Church's Golden Calf is a hard-hitting look at the ungodly practice of mixing Christian worship services with the popular entertainment practices of the secular world.
In this book, Presbyterian pastor Matthew Everhard offers a sincere, heart-felt critique of the availing techniques that are all-too-common in our day such as using worship as a platform to build celebrity pastors, gain large followings, and entertain the people. Meanwhile, such churches given to these theatrics are jettisoning traditional worship, Biblical doctrine, and reverent attention to the True and Living God.
In this work, Everhard looks at common "worshiptainment" practices as it regards preaching, liturgy, music, the sacraments, and Christian leadership. All the while, Everhard argues that the church should return to the Regulative Principle of Worship, the Reformation-era ideal of only doing in worship what God specifically requires us to do in Holy Scripture.

Story
Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet most people struggle to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic theological work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. Drawing from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, he paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy.

Story
How did the idea arise that masculinity is dangerous and destructive? Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey leads you on a fascinating excursion through American history to discover why the script for masculinity turned toxic—and how to fix it. Pearcey then turns to surprising findings from sociology. Religion is often cast as a cause of domestic abuse. But research shows that authentically committed Christian men test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence of any group in America.

Story
The Christian life is a process of growing in holiness, our natural response to the good news of our redemption in Christ. This kind of growth is gradual, and obstacles are plentiful. Thankfully, we don't have to go it alone. God has given us his Spirit so that we can overcome temptation and become more and more conformed to the image of Christ. But how does the Spirit work? What is the nature of our own personal involvement in the process? And how do we know if we are making progress?

Story
Historic statements of faith—such as the Heidelberg Catechism, the Apostles’ Creed, and the Westminster Confession of Faith—have helped the Christian church articulate and adhere to God’s truth for centuries. However, many modern evangelicals reject these historic documents and the practices of catechesis, proclaiming their commitment to “no creed but the Bible.” And yet, in today’s rapidly changing culture, ancient liturgical tradition is not only biblical—it’s essential.

Story
Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be. In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today.

In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom.

What is this book good for? It establishes a clear linear understanding of biblical text in its purpose of driving the listener to see how faithfully God executes His purpose in creation. The covenantal framework from Adam to Christ, and from creation to consummation, is a most apt way of seeing the flow of the entire biblical text. One is lifted in the journey and is able to see the entire scope of Divine Providence work out the divine decree from generation to generation, book to book, event to event, person to person.

In Toxic Empathy, Allie Beth Stuckey argues that empathy has become a tool of manipulation by left-wing activists who bully people into believing that they must adopt progressive positions to be loving. She explores the five most heated issues through which toxic empathy is deployed: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspective as empathetic, like “abortion is healthcare,” “love is love,” or “no human being is illegal,” but in each case, they ignore the other side of the moral equation.

How can we persevere through persecution? First-century Christians wrestled with this question. They were often harassed, slandered, beaten, and ostracized for their faith. As they endured these difficult circumstances, we can imagine their joy upon receiving two encouraging letters from the Apostle Peter. No stranger to suffering, Peter likely penned these letters while in a Roman prison just before his martyrdom. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul takes us through Peter’s epistles line by line.

You live in a dystopia. Every part of historical human existence in our world has been turned on its head. The world we live in is an inversion of what God created you to live in. All that is good is treated as though it were repugnant. All that is beautiful is treated as though it were repulsive. And the truth is forbidden while the most outrageous lies are exalted. This world did not become like this by accident or by inexorable forces of history. This world was engineered to be this way. It was designed to take the life your ancestors had and tear it apart.

The West and Islam - the sword and scimitar - have clashed since the 17th century, when, according to Muslim tradition, the Roman emperor rejected Prophet Muhammad's order to abandon Christianity and convert to Islam, unleashing a centuries-long jihad on Christendom. Sword and Scimitar chronicles the decisive battles that arose from this ages-old Islamic jihad, beginning with the first major Islamic attack on Christian land in 636.

The gospel has come under attack since the days of the Apostles. In first-century Galatia, false teachers were creeping into churches and convincing Christians that they had to keep the law of Moses to be saved. To call these churches back from the brink of destruction, the Apostle Paul wrote what is likely his earliest letter: an unyielding defense of God’s saving grace in Jesus Christ. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul guides us through Paul’s passionate letter to the Galatians.

L.

We discover how the blood of a Passover lamb helps us grasp the significance of Jesus' death on the cross, how the Lord's defeat of Pharaoh foreshadowed Jesus' victory over Satan, how Israel's exodus out of Egypt unfolds the meaning of the resurrection, and much more.

Story
Hold Fast the Faith: A Devotional Commentary on the Westminster Confession of 1647, was written to help introduce evangelical Christians to the great puritan document, The Westminster Confession of Faith (1647). The WCF has been the doctrinal standard of Presbyterian and Reformed churches for over 350 years, and is one of the most important theological statements written in the last one thousand years.As the title suggests, Hold Fast the Faith is a "devotional." It was not written for scholars or theologians, but regular Christians on a journey of faith and obedience. It was written to help...

Gavin Ortlund draws from both his scholarly work in church history and his personal experience in ecumenical engagement to offer a powerful defense of the Protestant tradition. Retrieving classical Protestant texts and arguments, he exposes how many of the contemporary objections leveled against Protestants are rooted in caricature. Ultimately, he shows that historic Protestantism offers the best pathway to catholicity and historical rootedness for Christians today.

Union with Christ is an important theological and practical concept that has received considerable attention in recent years. But not much consideration has been given to this union and its benefits in light of Jesus's resurrection and ascension. In this follow-up to his monumental A New Testament Biblical Theology, G. K. Beale summarizes and expands on that work with an eye to fleshing out the theological implications of the resurrection and ascension.

Story
Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet most people struggle to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic theological work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. Drawing from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, he paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy.

Story
God gave us His Word so that we may know Him and live by His truth. So, what should we do when we’re reading the Bible and a difficult passage stops us in our tracks? Sometimes the solution is right there on the page—if we know where to look—while other passages gain clarity in light of the rest of the Bible or its historical background. With the help of an experienced guide, we can overcome the obstacles to our progress and know God’s Word more deeply. In Hard Sayings, Dr. R.C. Sproul applies his wisdom as a theologian and Bible teacher to some of the most challenging verses in Scripture.

Often called Paul’s magnum opus, Romans has been pivotal to Christians’ understanding of salvation for generations. It had a profound influence on Augustine and Luther. Calvin saw it as the key to understanding all of Scripture. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul introduces us to Paul’s fullest, grandest, most comprehensive statement of the gospel and explains why it is just as vital for believers today as it has been for believers throughout history. Verse by verse, Dr. Sproul unfolds the vast truths that Paul has clearly and carefully woven throughout this book.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

Very good book!
Everhard’s writing is both pastoral and prophetic, speaking with compassion for those caught in the allure of worshiptainment but uncompromising in his insistence that worship is ultimately about glorifying God. Readers will appreciate his ability to blend historical insight, scriptural exposition, and practical application.
For those concerned about the direction of modern worship or longing for a return to reverent, Christ-centered services, Worshiptainment is a must-read. It not only critiques but also offers a hopeful vision of worship that transforms hearts by drawing congregations deeper into the presence of God.

An Important Message for a Critical Time!
As someone who has recently migrated to the Reformed tradition of Christianity, and who is regularly horrified by the antics of too many American evangelicals and progressives alike, I was very excited to read this book. It did not disappoint! Pastor Matthew is honest and critical of a very disturbing trend in the modern faith, yet is gracious as a shepherd of the flock ought to be. He contrasts the insanity going on in many churches today with a clearly laid-out description of the more historic methods of the Reformed tradition. Most importantly, you can feel the heart behind the author and why he has such conviction to share this message: his love for God and the desire to worship Him in the proper manner, and his love for the Church and desire for her members to conduct themselves honorably and reverently before our Most Holy God.
I would highly recommend this book to any Christian, and fully intend to do so to my friends and family who also share a passion for Christ and his proper worship!

Faithful, Biblical, Reformed
Matthew Everhard gives an intelligent and formidable critique of the excess and decadence found in contemporary worship. He clearly explains the regulative principle of worship and why it is essential. I would recommend this book to an evangelical looking to understand biblical worship or to a young reformed person who wants to steel their convictions.

Brings scripture to my own experiences
This book is one of my favorites in a while. It brings scripture to my own experiences. Seeing grievous and experiencing painful circumstances in the church. It covers the regulative principle in a clear and understanding way. It equips you in your examination of a faithful church and pastor.

Spot On
Pastor Matt does a fine job explaining worship, what it is and who it’s for. Worship is in adoration of God Almighty. It seems more and more as though God is merely a bystander watching and waiting to see what we want Him to do. We’d be better off relearning the basics and refocusing our praises back to Him. I didn’t notice ahead of time that Pastor Matt hadn’t narrated his book. I find him much more engaging.

Gentle and firm call to faithfulness
I definitely like how he doesn’t seek to condemn that those who do this may have very genuine and heartfelt intentions in using these pragmatic means. He seems to get his point across firmly, but with a gentleness that’s appreciated as he asks the reader to question themselves, not to look at his words as a finger wagging. It’s nice. A refreshing look at the regulative principle of worship. And I appreciate his encouragement for faithfulness to God’s Word in our worship.

A Much Needed Rebuke of Secular Worship Tainted by Calvinism
Matt is a solid contributor of Christian content and I’ve followed his media presence for a while. His heart is in the right place, which this book attests to, but unfortunately he intersperses his Calvinism throughout the book severely tainting the much needed message. Therefore, for those who would hold the view that Calvinism (or “Reformed” theology if you prefer) contains false and perhaps even damnable doctrines, the book must be read with discernment, eating the meat & spitting out the bones.
In fact the angry vindictive pastor that Matt describes in chapter 7, “Rock Stars”, who brings “the daggers out” in the face of criticism, is exactly the kind of man John Calvin was. “Painfully sensitive to criticism, and could not bear opposition with the patience of one who can conceive the possibility that he may be wrong... he often lost his temper and broke out into fits of angry eloquence; he confessed… that he found it difficult to tame "the wild beast of his wrath.” (The Story of Civilization, Part 6, The Reformation, pg. 447). An alleged detractor of Calvin (Jacques Gruet), “was tortured twice daily for thirty days until he confessed - we do not know how truthfully.. half dead, he was tied to a stake, his feet were nailed to it, and his head was cut off.” (Ibid, page 479). Another detractor (Michael Servetus) was condemned to be burned at the stake, pleaded with Calvin for mercy “who only offered him consoltation of true religion” if he would recant his positions (Ibid pg. 484). These things did not the true disciples of Christ yet it is this man that Matt lauds in this book as a faithful minister of the word and is set forth as an example to be imitated.
Regarding the doctrine of baptism, one of the fathers of reformed theology, Huldrych Zwingli said, “In this matter of baptism - if I may be pardoned for saying it - I can only conclude that all the doctors have been in error from the time of the apostles... All the doctors have ascribed to the water a power which it does not have and the holy apostles did not teach.” It’s difficult to imagine this level of pride in proclaiming that every Christian leader who has preceded you has misunderstood a critical aspect of the “Great Commission” (Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 16:15-20, Luke 24:45-48), but that is the spirit reformed theology is rooted in.
Calvinism’s TULIP is false - Jesus Christ died for ALL who will believe the gospel, and appropriate the free gift by simply following the biblical formula of confession (Romans 10:9-10) and water immersion for the forgiveness of sin (Acts 2:38). 1 Timothy 2:3-6 tell us that “God our Savior… desires *all men to be saved* and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom *for all*.” 2 Peter 3:9 tells us that the Lord is “longsuffering toward us not willing that *any* should perish but that *all* should come to repentance.”
But setting these doctrinal issues aside, the book uses language that is very accessible & the call to repentance from secular Christian worship is much needed in this era of hyper stimulation. Therefore, I give grace to, and thank Matt for, raising awareness to these erring practices. There is still plenty of meat to be garnered from the message in spite of its denominational slant. I definitely learned from it and will add what I’ve gleaned to my repertoire.
