How is the totality of Scripture to be understood? How is sinful man brought into a relationship with God? In the opening pages of Scripture, we read of God's covenant with Adam and all he represents (humanity). If Adam obeys the covenant he will live, yet if he disobeys, he and all in him, will die. Upon the fall of Adam in Gen 3 we read of another covenant, an unconditional one, of the serpent bruising the Seed of the Woman's heel and the Seed of the Woman bruising the serpent's head (Gen 3:15). We read of grace. This book operates as a primer that outlines the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace from Gen 2-3 to uncover the reality of man's ruin in the garden and his redemption in Christ.

John Owen was a scholar, pastor, dissenter, and faithful follower of Christ in a tumultuous time. He gave himself to the study of Scripture out of an abiding love for the glory of God amongst the people of Christ. John Owen's works have greatly influenced Western Christendom in the centuries that have passed, and his concern for the true church shines powerfully forth from his writings. The aim of the book is to examine John Owen's view of the biblical role of a pastor with regards to the ministry of preaching the word of God in the life of a local church. The goal is to understand and evaluate John Owen's thought, from Holy Scripture, with regards to pastoral preaching. This book seeks to unearth from John Owen's writings the various aspects that affect pastoral preaching, his understanding of a True Gospel Church, preaching as the priority for a pastor, and what exactly constituted faithful biblical preaching. Furthermore, this book will seek to make conclusions concerning John Owen's view of pastoral preaching and its faithfulness to Scripture.

What a privilege it is for God's people to have the complete canon of Holy Scripture In Deuteronomy 11:18-21 we observe the unchanging intention of God for his people to grow in their knowledge of him through the family setting. Faithfulness as a family to grow in the Scripture was connected, in Deuteronomy 11:21, to the outcome of the family enjoying the promises of God given in the Mosaic covenant. God's precepts, commands, and promises are a blessing to be enjoyed by his redeemed people in Christ, especially in the family setting. This book aims at being a guide for families to use in their daily family worship of God from the word. If God's word is the means that God has ordained to call his people to Christ and change them increasingly into the image of Christ, then imagine the joy that awaits families if we were more intentional with the word--more intentional to daily read the word, memorize the word, grow in the doctrines of the word, and sing together the truths of the word. Why not take a family journey through doctrine and find in the word the Triune God who alone saves and satisfies?

How is God to be worshipped? In our modern context there are so many approaches people take to the worship of God, both corporately as well as individually. The greatest issue the evangelical church faces in our time is not the decline in the morality of our society or even the secularization of our Western context; rather, it is the forsaking of the true worship of God. It is the neglect of living out a cherished doctrine of the reformation ""Sola Scriptura."" God is the object and consumer of worship. Therefore, his word given to us governs us in our worship of him. The people of Israel are told by Moses in Deut 12:32: ""Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it."" The Lord Jesus told the Samaritan women in John 4:24, ""God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."" God spells out with crystal clarity how his redeemed are to worship him. In True Worship we will explore what biblical worship of the triune God is and why it is crucial in our time and for all time.

Christmas season is a time to reflect on the life-altering, universe-shaking event that took place approximately 2000 years ago in a small village in Palestine. The King of glory, the eternal God the Son, entered the human race to save sinners from every tribe, tongue, and nation. Jesus in his high priestly prayer hours before his crucifixion prayed in John 17:4-5, "I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." Jesus' focus from his birth to his ascension was clear: To glorify God the Father, and to magnify all that God is like culminating in the cross for the salvation of God's people. The one born of the virgin Mary lived to show the nature of God. This Christmas season we are going to look at twenty-five things concerning who and what God is. With each attribute there is an accompanying song of response and explanation behind the song. God is Holy and Glorious. This season, study who he is and see more clearly the beauty of what Christ accomplished on the cross.

What does biblical faith look like? How does salvation work? Am I even saved? How do I know? Perhaps one of these questions has kept your thoughts captive. The apostle Peter in 1 Peter 1 communicates the inner workings of salvation and what salvation will bring forth in a person's life with profound clarity. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Peter describes what a Christian is, what a Christian has to look forward to, and what being a Christian will increasingly mean as we live as exiles in this world. In A Steadfast Faith we examine the faith delivered to the saints once and for all with the goal of a greater assurance of God's salvation and a more fervent desire to know the God who justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies all those with a God-given steadfast faith in the gospel. ""Justin Miller has prepared this book by carefully studying the writings of that man called Peter. By God's Spirit working through this young pastor, the Lord has provided us with a remarkably beautiful and concise answer to the question, 'How can I be saved' and 'How can I know that I have eternal life' Pastor Miller has followed the old fisherman whose life had been changed by the Lord of Glory, Jesus Christ, and brought back a remarkable treasure of wisdom."" --Michael A. Milton, President, Faith for Living ""With a variety of examples from history, culture, life, and above all biblical truth, Miller engages and unfolds the glorious truth of the first chapter of 1 Peter. Justin takes the heavy and profound truths of 1 Peter 1:1-25 and presents each doctrine as a precious gem held in the light to see clearly the many facets of each. It is an informative, convicting, and encouraging work beneficial to every believer."" --Blain R. Craig, Pastor, Oak Crest Baptist Church Justin Miller is a husband, father, pastor, and most importantly a follower of the Lord Jesus.

""I forgot "" How many of us have heard those words from our own mouths after we failed to remember something important? God's people, both in the Old Testament and his redeemed today, are guilty of forgetting what matters most in the busyness of daily life. Is it any wonder that in the Law of God, the Torah, three festivals a year were to be attended by all Jewish males to reflect on God's grace, goodness, and revealed truth? In Deuteronomy 6:9-12, the people were to put God's word on their doorposts so that they would not forget his commands and acts of deliverance when they settled in the promise land. In the New Testament, Jesus institutes two ordinances (baptism and the Lord's Supper) for the church to practice in order to remember and reverently celebrate what he accomplished on their behalf. Throughout Holy Scripture, God calls his forgetful people to reflect on and remember his past works, so they may see his everlasting glory. Taking a journey through Holy Week in the Gospel of Matthew is another opportunity to reflect on the person and work of the Lord Jesus. Holy Week begins on the first Sunday before Resurrection Sunday (Easter) and reflects on the events of Jesus' last days leading up to his crucifixion and resurrection. This journey through Holy Week is meant to remind us of the person and work of Jesus so that our affections will be stirred and our mouths will praise him to the glory of God the Father.
