What does Romans 9 really means and does it have anything to do with Calvinism? Is Romans 13 really about the government? If you are interested in answering those questions and more, this is a succinct and compact guide. The book...

When God calls us out of our sin and to himself through the Gospel, he adopts us into his family. That family is the church. This is a book about what that family should be, what it should do, and why it matters. When we look carefully at the big things of the Bible, it's important for us to examine both the scriptures and the culture we live in today. We need to know what the Bible says. We also need to understand the ways we are getting things wrong, and the ways our cultural sins may be blinding us to what God is calling us to in scripture.
