We often use the word faith without thinking much about its meaning.

We know that without faith, it is impossible to please God and that faith is the core and foundation of daily Christian living.

But what is faith?

Author Joel R. Beeke believes we can best understand faith by seeing how it operates by the Spirit in the lives of fallen sinners like us. Accordingly, he considers essential aspects of faith operating in the lives of Adam and Eve, the Shunammite woman, the Canaanite woman, and Caleb.

With pastoral warmth, he challenges readers to ask themselves three questions:

  • Do I have this kind of faith?
  • Am I exercising the particular aspect of faith being described?
  • How can this example of a particular dimension of faith be used in my life to make me a mature believer?

Is Lord's Day observance simply a quaint tradition that was nice for previous generations but really isn't relevant for Christians today?

Isn't the Sabbath just part of the Old Testament law that New Testament believers don't need to be concerned about?

In this pamphlet, author Joseph Pipa carefully guides you through the Scriptures, answering frequently asked questions about the Lord's Day along the way, and helps you to see that the Lord's Day is for you not as a burden, but as a blessing that will lead you to delight in God as you are freed from work and worldly pleasures to worship Him.
