Series Description

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said that what the church needs to do most all is “to begin herself to live the Christian life. If she did that, men and women would be crowding into our buildings. They would say, ‘What is the secret of this?’” As Christians, one of our greatest needs is for the Spirit of God to cultivate biblical godliness in us in order to put the beauty of Christ on display through us, all to the glory of the triune God. With this goal in mind, this series of booklets treats matters vital to Christian experience at a basic level. Each booklet addresses a specific question in order to inform the mind, warm the affections, and transform the whole person by the Spirit’s grace, so that the church may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

Endorsement

“Although it appears we are in the midst of a deluge of sexual immorality inciting the unwary heart to all types of sexual lust and perversion, lust has been regnant in the human heart ever since the fall of Adam and Eve. And the Bible has much to say about it: how to fight it and how, in the words of the fourth membership vow in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, to “put to death your sinful deeds and desires.” Ryan McGraw helpfully shows us the biblical wisdom regarding lust in general and sexual lust in particular. He also draws from one of the most important treatises on how to kill sin penned by the great Puritan physician of the heart, John Owen, who originally preached it to teenagers at Oxford University. Pithy and piquant, may this booklet do much good in encouraging holy living.” — Michael A. G. Haykin, professor of church history and biblical spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Imagine what it would be like an Artic winter where, for three months, world was in complete darkness.

 

The winter was dark and there was a spiritual darkness too. But, this spiritual darkness was being pushed back by the power of the Gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ that Jack Turner followed. Using medicine to heal bodies and the gospel to heal souls, he had come to this inhospitable land to translate God’s Word into the native language. 

 

It was a world of snow and hunting and anyone who lived there had to become familiar with the difficult way of living in the arctic. Danger is around every corner in the wild North – and Jack runs into trouble. Dive in and join Jack Turner for an epic journey through the wilderness.

The Puritans believed that godly marriages were foundational for the future life of families, churches, and nations.

Therefore, they wrote prolifically on the subject of marriage, seeking to bring biblical reformation to this subject in a comprehensive way. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and other previous Reformers had begun this task, but the Puritans took it much further, writing a number of detailed treatises on how to live as godly spouses.

Out of the wealth of material available to us from the seventeenth century, Joel R. Beeke and James A. La Belle have gathered together insights from the past and summarized them in a contemporary form in order to encourage modern day coupled to glorify God in marriage.

Views on the roles of deacons vary widely among evangelical Christians. What does Scripture actually teach about deacons and their role in the church?

Views range from deacons being the board of directors, to the church building maintenance crew. My intention in writing this book is to encourage my deacon friends and fellow church leaders to think more critically about what they are saying, what they are doing, and what Scripture actually teaches about deacons.

Matthew Henry is known worldwide in our time as the author of his famous commentary on the Scriptures. But far less known in our day is the fact that Henry was an emblem of faithful fatherhood during his lifetime. Henry took his duties as a father seriously. And it showed. One observer noted that the Henry household was like unto the "gates of heaven” where he and his wife governed all family life by the Word of God.
