Discover the magnitude of God's grace and how it can impact your life! Grace is one of the most phenomenal, yet least understood, gifts we receive from God. Grace does more than just allow you to be forgiven of your sin - it empowers you to overcome sin! To many, grace is just a doctrine, a spiritual concept. But as you will discover in listening to this audiobook, grace is so much more. Grace is unreasonable; it is so miraculous that we cannot make sense of it intellectually. Instead, we must ask God daily to help us walk in a childlike faith so we can simply receive his grace.

“En los últimos años, el debate acerca de estos asuntos en la Iglesia del evangelio ha sido enriquecido por la aparición de literatura bautista reformada. Varios libros nuevos de excelencia han salido de las imprentas; y en este último, escrito por el Dr. Samuel Renihan, encontramos una contribución considerablemente importante al tema. Es de necesaria lectura, especialmente para estudiantes de teología y hombres prudentes que se están beneficiando mucho de la comunión, la predicación y las vidas piadosas de nuestros hermanos paidobautistas, tanto de los que viven hoy como de ...

In this work, John Bunyan addresses the issue of imputation in great detail. The imputed righteousness of Christ was of the highest importance to him, as the only way of salvation. He opposed any manifestation of self-righteousness among Christians, any any claim of justification built thereon.

Far too many Christians are waiting, hoping, and praying for healing, but either it doesn’t last or it doesn’t come at all. Doctors shrug and say there is nothing they can do. Pastors say it is your sin or attacks of the devil that blocks your healing. This only leaves people more helpless, hopeless, afraid, ashamed, and still sick or in pain. Craig Miller experienced his own miraculous physical healing, and he has dedicated his life to helping others receive the permanent emotional and physical restoration that is available through the healing power of God.

Born again are two words that instill political images during elections and spark debate among theologians. Neither matters. The true meaning of born again is higher and deeper than most understand. Even Christians. When the works of Jesus that the Church is supposed to demonstrate aren't present to serve people's needs, people turn to the values and wisdom of their culture to meet those needs. Today humanism has so overcome the Church, Christians don't expect miracles to be commonplace. But to God they are not supernatural. They are the way His kingdom functions; they are life done right, ...

Mary the Mother of God, the first volume in the series Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas, is a collection of some of the greatest homilies on the Theotokos ever written, including the most celebrated of all Palamas’ writings, his sermon “On the Entry of the Mother of God into the Holy of Holies”.

“Mark, Finished the book and it was excellent! You opened a walnut with a sledgehammer! There can be no doubt that it is truth!” Robert Andrews, Pastor and Author of The Family: God’s Weapon for Victory. I am willing to follow the Greek New Testament wherever it leads. In this case, it leads to the best news ever! Get ready to fall in love with God, all over again. Get ready to see God’s love for even the worst of his enemies. “The Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world” (1 John 4:14). “He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the ...

Easy Chairs, Hard Words offers an honest look at difficult passages in Scripture. Presented as a series of fictional conversations between a curious young Christian and a seasoned pastor, these dialogues speak with clarity to those new to the Reformed faith. They begin with the question, "Can salvation be lost?" and from there wrestle with other hard-to-swallow doctrines, including the freedom of the will, election, and original sin.

He who does not take the step of faith and enter upon the road to heaven will perish. It will be an awful thing to die close to yet outside the gate of life. Almost saved, but altogether lost! This is the most terrible of positions. A man just outside Noah’s ark would have drowned; a murderer close to the wall of the city of refuge, but outside of it, would be slain; and the man who is within a yard of Christ but has not trusted him will be lost.

In this important work addressing a significant gap in current theological literature, the authors argue that by jettisoning a doctrine of good works, the contemporary church contradicts historical Protestantism and, more importantly, biblical teaching.

Calvinists are well known for their fighting, and on the rare occasions when the Synod of Dort is remembered, it is often highlighted as an example of Calvinist squabbling and dogmatism. But few know the real story, or why the battles at Dort were worth fighting. In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Canons of Dort, pastor and scholar Daniel Hyde reminds us what Dort was all about: protecting and proclaiming the glorious gospel of grace!

A growing number of Christians are noticing that spiritual sluggishness is spreading among Christians. Perhaps you have observed this and have begun to pray for revival. Many factors are likely contributing to the spiritual sluggishness. This book explores one of them. We know that unless the Holy Spirit moves upon God’s people, revival is not going to happen. But the Holy Spirit uses the truth of the Gospel in the process of reviving people. This book asserts that during the past two or three hundred years, the Church has gradually embraced a gospel that is truncated to some degree. It ...

Michael O. Borthwick's -- A Mechanic's Handbook To The God Of The Bible: Why God Just Makes Sense is an intriguing title for an audio book referring to the God of the Bible and His relevance. An excellent listen for individuals who want to know more about God and the Christian faith. The book is written in such a way that both believers and those unsure of their beliefs can greatly benefit from it.

For years, Robert A. Peterson taught about the assurance of salvation in seminary and Sunday school classrooms. He was concerned, however, to find that some people, for a variety of reasons, were unable to grasp the certainty of their salvation. The Assurance of Salvation identifies these "troublers" of assurance and provides the remedy to diffuse insecurity.

Maybe you're not as free as you think you are. Even worse, you may have been duped into believing that a "balanced" life is the key to happiness (it isn't) or that a relationship with God is about layering on rules and restrictions (nope). Whether it's media-fueled fear, something a parent or teacher said that you just can't shake, or even the reality of dark spiritual forces bent on keeping you down, something is holding you back from the full-on freedom God intends for you.

Chris Kugler presents a thorough exploration of "personal eschatology," addressing the complex theological and biblical questions about the eternal fate of human beings. While Scripture suggests the possibility of eternal loss, Kugler argues that its most relevant texts are less definitive than commonly thought. Kugler contends that a nuanced picture is called for when one considers how theology uses the Bible to develop doctrine. He presents the problems, possibilities, and prospects of the three major views on personal eschatology: damnationism, annihilationism, and universalism.

We are living in an extraordinary time: a Time of Mercy. But what is mercy? What does it mean to be living in a Time of Mercy? How can we receive God’s Mercy? And how should we respond? In Doors of Mercy, authors Fr. Jeffrey Kirby and Brian Kennelly answer these important questions. They act as your tour guides on a whirlwind tour of salvation history, from Adam and Eve to the coming of the Savior, and into the present day with the beautiful story of St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy message and devotion.

The salvation of the soul is probably one of the most misunderstood concepts in the church today. Most people think that the salvation of the spirit and the salvation of the soul are the same thing, even though the Scriptures tell us something different. The salvation of a person’s spirit is very simple. Acts 16:30-31 tells us: "30) 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' 31) So they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.'" The salvation of the spirit is based on the finished work of our savior Jesus Christ at Calvary.

What does it mean to accept God’s grace? New York Times best-selling author Max Lucado believes, “When grace happens, generosity happens.” God’s grace is always there, ready to do wonders in your life. In Grace Happens Here, you’ll learn how to accept His grace and forgiveness and how to extend the same blessing toward others.

Jesus Christ's designation as High Priest after the order of Melchizedek is a cornerstone of Christian theology, representing the fulfillment of divine promises and the inauguration of a new covenant between God and humanity. To understand Jesus as High Priest, it is essential to look back at Melchizedek, a figure who appears briefly in the Old Testament yet holds profound significance in the understanding of priesthood and kingship. Melchizedek’s unique role in the Bible foreshadows Jesus’ ministry and His ultimate role as the eternal mediator between God and humankind. Unlike the ...
