Aurelius Augustinus (354-430), bishop of Hippo Regius (the modern Annaba in Algeria), is considered one of the outstanding thinkers in Western Christian civilization, Catholic and Protestant alike. Particularly influential has been his pessimistic doctrine of divine predestination, which holds that only a small proportion of humanity has been selected by God for salvation, while the overwhelming majority, including all unbaptized persons, are damned. The book is for all listeners attracted to Christian doctrine.

À travers toutes ses activités quotidiennes, le pasteur ne doit pas perdre de vue son objectif ultime : la sanctification du peuple de Dieu. C'est là le cœur du projet de Dieu pour les chrétiens. Dans ce livre, John MacArthur rappelle aux pasteurs de ne pas oublier la raison pour laquelle ils passent d'innombrables heures à préparer des sermons, à rendre visite à des personnes malades, à conseiller et à célébrer des mariages, surtout lorsque la ligne d'arrivée semble lointaine et qu'ils sont tentés d'abandonner.

When clouds of doubt block the sunshine of our assurance of salvation, a sense of foreboding plagues us. The fear of hell becomes a sobering reality, leading to loss of joy and strength. We also leave the ground of victory. We lose confidence in accessing Jesus by faith because of our uncertainty over whether we even have Jesus. Such a person can be overcome by the world instead of overcoming through faith.

Human belief is a gift of God that acquaints people with something God already did. People do have faith, and they do have wills, but the believing and the willing originated outside themselves. Belief is a gift that follows salvation; it does not precede it. So no one should think: I did it! The startling result? We are not saved because we believe; we believe because we are saved.

Explore the "Perfect Paradox" of the Christian life: the call to a standard of perfect obedience that is impossible to attain in the flesh.

What sets the historic Christian faith apart from all other religions and worldviews? Nothing less than the good news of God’s saving grace in Jesus Christ. The Protestant Reformers boldly declared the marvelous message of the gospel: Salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. Together, these “alone” statements are called the five solas of the Reformation. In this book, Dr. Gabe Fluhrer explains how the five solas give us the heartbeat of the gospel and the road map for the Christian life.

This classic text simply and beautifully illustrates the gospel of salvation and the free gift of grace from Jesus Christ. Considered a cornerstone of Christianity and Christian theology, All of Grace presents a clear and complete description of what it means to be saved. Charles Spurgeon describes and explains salvation in a way that is perfect for believers and nonbelievers alike, painting a picture of faith, repentance, unmerited grace, and perfect freedom in God’s word and in his love.

Evangelical Christians often sing and preach about the blessed blood of Christ and the wonderful things it accomplishes for believers. To the uninformed ear, such language can convey the idea that Jesus’ blood had semi-magical qualities. Actually, Jesus’ blood was normal human blood, but the Bible refers to it in metaphorical terms to portray the many benefits that come to Christians because of Jesus’ death.

An examination of the power and authority which come from the Cross, and the Blood of Jesus Christ.

You will be treated like Jesus on the Day of Judgment! That is exactly what the entire New Testament is shouting to believers. There will be no fear, no shame, and no guilt on the Day of Judgment. Instead, we can have confidence on the Day of Judgment because we are totally forgiven and just like Jesus. In The Cross Worked., Zach Maldonado explores the Scriptures about forgiveness, reward, and judgment and dismantles the popular religious jargon around these verses.

". . . I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand." (1Pe 5:12) The first-century Christians to whom Peter wrote were standing in the doctrine of "the true grace of God." Are you? Most Christians think they are, but an examination of their doctrine will almost always reveal that the "grace" they espouse is an admixture of grace and works. God does His part, and they do theirs. While the Bible teaches that faith is an evidence of eternal life (Joh 5:24), both Arminians and Calvinists have turned it into a sacrament which procures ...

LA MÉDULA DEL EVANGELIO POR SOLA GRACIA La doctrina de la imputación constituye el centro mismo, y la roca fundamental del Evangelio. Toda la humanidad desde la caída en Adán, se encuentra muerta en delitos y pecados. Sin embargo, nuestro pecado es puesto a Cristo en la Cruz, y su justicia nos es dada a través de la fe y el arrepentimiento. Sin imputación lo único que nos queda es una salvación por obras. Sin embargo, esta doctrina cardinal ha estado bajo constante ataque durante el siglo XX desde diferentes ángulos. J.V. Fesko ha hecho un trabajo magistral de proporciones épicas ...

Considered a cornerstone of modern Christian theology, Charles Spurgeon’s All of Grace is an exploration into the way Christians envision themselves. While many people see themselves as strong, Spurgeon argues that if humans were strong there would have been no need for Jesus to have sacrificed himself. The actions of Jesus were shrouded in a love of the weakness of humanity, and to Spurgeon that truth was being further shrouded by modern pride. The book itself was a call to Christianity to look at repentance as a gift and to accept its grace into their lives.

If you ask, He will give you living water! That is all you have to do – ask. How real, how true, how free – yet how simple! This is grace. He loves us not because we are rich in goodness, but because He is rich in mercy; not because we are worthy of His favor, but because He delights in lovingkindness. His welcome to us comes from His own graciousness, not from our lovableness. Christ invites the weary. It is this weariness that fits you for Him and Him for you.

What if Jesus didn't die to save us from God? The doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement is not the Gospel. It's a theory that originated in the 1500's under John Calvin. The damage done by this teaching is still being felt today. It's time to abandon this toxic theology in favor of a Christ-centered view of the cross that sets us free from sin and unveils a God of love who would rather die than live without us.

This book examines the biblical, binary reality of either/or disjunctions framed as dialogues regarding God, creation, and creatures. The dialogists' names serve to depict an exchange of thoughts. The mind from which these spring is the author's, as Professor Tweedy Flynch (TF) and Professor Buck Calhoun (BC). As a man thinks, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7) As the creature thinks in his heart, his thinking finds expression in the realities of life at all levels. Such thinking is framed by and operates within the structure of a worldview. A worldview is a set of assumptions or presuppositions ...

Christian victory, as explained in Colossians, is radically different from how victory is commonly imagined in both religious and cultural thinking. Paul does not describe victory as gradual spiritual dominance, mystical advancement, or human achievement over evil forces. Instead, he presents victory as a decisive, completed act accomplished by Christ alone, rooted in the Cross and applied to believers through union with Him. This redefinition is essential because misunderstanding victory leads believers either into fear-driven spirituality or into performance-based religion. Colossians ...
