Being in sound doctrine of Christ is fundamental. According to the Word of God,being a Christian is perfectly synonymous with being in sound doctrine of Christ. To obey the Gospel of Christ is to receive his teaching. In these end times when the subtle and refined counterfeit of Christian faith is spreading everywhere and when we are constantly subjected to all kinds of trials and attacks more difficult than the others, it is more than ever necessary, for any true Christian, to know sound doctrine so as not to be swept away by foreign doctrines, to fight the good fight of faith and to beware of false prophets and false anointed men, these voracious wolves who spy on us and look for favourable opportunities to be able to devour us. But knowing sound doctrine of Christ is above all necessary for our spiritual growth in order to have an ever deeper communion with our Lord and to get closer and closer to spiritual maturity.

Weaves together biblical exposition and practical application to demonstrate how emotions relate to the Christian life. Emotions are a vital part of what it means to be a human being made in the image of God and redeemed in Jesus Christ. But often our emotions confuse and mislead us. So what is the proper place for emotions in a Christian's walk of faith? In Feelings and Faith Brian Borgman draws from his extensive biblical knowledge and his pastoral experience to help readers understand both divine and human emotions. After laying a biblical foundation he moves on to practical application, focusing on how Christians can put to death ungodly emotional displays and also cultivate godly emotions. This biblically informed, practical volume is helpful for pastors, counselors, and serious-minded Christians who wish to develop a full-orbed faith that encompasses their emotional life.

Christians love to celebrate grace, but often talk about it in vague generalities. But such an important biblical concept ought to be clearly defined so it can be consistently defended. In this book, best-selling author Kevin DeYoung points modern readers back to an old document originally written to do just that. Warmly pastoral and broadly accessible, this book introduces readers to the Canons of Dort, a 17th-century work summarizing the central doctrines of the Christian faith. Widely regarded as a key pillar of the Reformed tradition, the Canons of Dort stand as a faithful witness to God's grace—offering a depth of understanding that the church still needs today. In three concise sections—covering history, theology, and practical application—DeYoung explores what led to the Canons and why they were needed, the five important doctrines that they explain, and Dort's place in the Reformed tradition today.
