Got a box of books from @ligonier a couple days ago. Every Friday they have a $5 sale of selected books, CD's, and downloads. Well worth checking out. Follow them on social media for great teaching and subscribe on YouTube for sermons, discussions, conferences and more. #ligonier #rcsproul #bible #teaching #books #reformedtheology #biography #Jesus #doctrineThe verse a day is a good idea in theory but we should really read the chapter. Why you need to read more than the verse a day: 14-22But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.This classic is a must read for every Christian. I need to get a new copy.I recently read two books that I believe are must reads for us today. They are modern books based on sermons preached in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. Yes, things said that long ago have incredible relevance for us today. What do the books talk about? The glory of God and being the Church. Go to caseyduane.com to read my summary of the books and see if you're interested in a new year's challenge. #blogpost #truth #godsglory #church #gospel #jonathanedwards #charlesspurgeon #johnpiper #johnmacarthurFrom today's reading: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this." - Isaiah 9:6-7 ESV"Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the bigoted." Everybody is getting to be so oily, so plastic, so untrue, that we need a race of hard shells to teach us how to believe. Those old-fashioned people who in former ages believed something and thought the opposite of it to be false, were truer folk, then the present timeservers." - Charles Spurgeon, On Laying Foundations, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, 1883. Poster available from @missionalwear #spurgeon #foundations #bigotry #gospel #truth #belief #boldnessFrom, Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World by John MacArthur. The book is based on the writings and sermons of Charles Spurgeon during the Down-Grade Controversy. #sovereignty #salvation #gospel #johnmacarthur #charlesspurgeonIn the infamous words of John MacArthur, Go Home 😂I turned on hymns while I ate lunch A Mighty Fortress Amazing Grace On Christ The Solid Rock I Stand .... and now I'm crying my eyes out. I don't sing well anyway but right now tears are flowing and my voice is cracking because The Gospel of Jesus Christ is beautiful. Jesus Paid It All #hymns #worship #gospel #JesusTopics & Series
