The deceptions sweeping the church are multiplying, to no surprise. The only thing of relative surprise is the lack of sufficient resources to counter it. There will always be weeds in within the wheat, but we don't have to hand knives and forks to the wolves for their lamb-chops. It's time for the church to stand up, use the sword of the Spirit, and cut off their hand if that is required, to catch the little foxes, or sometimes big fat ones, that are, truly, ruining many vineyards. These are not trivial things, nor are they grey areas. They are outright deceptions and manipulations of the Word, bolstered on charisma and popularity. In the guise of liberty, they bring a seduction of senility that binds people where they are at. True freedom, true grace, brings us to the cross, and bids us "Come ye here and die." True Christianity is not looking up at the cross at our savior, but dying up upon there with Him. As true as it has been in all time, this generation of preachers needs this clarion wake-up call: Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:34 This book will answer: What is Grace? Is there a false grace? Why is there so much focus on Grace today? What is the place of the Law? What is repentance, and how does it factor into the life of a believer? Is there such a thing as a restoration of Grace happening today? If so, is there a counterfeit? What is the Bible's view on 'Grace'? Does God care about our sin once we're saved? What does the Finished Works of the Cross accomplish? What won't the Finished Works of the Cross do? What is the duty of a Christian once they're saved, and why isn't this a "works salvation"? What are some of the common misconceptions about Grace? When are we born again? What is the nature of hell and is it eternal? Are we by nature good? What are some of the things people actually wrongly teaching about Grace today? How do I keep myself from error? What are the six foundations of the faith and how do they keep me from errors concerning Grace? This book can either be informative on the basics of true Grace in comparison to the many false faces offered today, or it can become a tutorial on how to righteously, yet effectively, and aggressively, confront and challenge the current false Grace teachings. Included are numerous scriptural references on why the Christian should not be afraid to engage in debate with people even in gross error, as well as what not to do, and when to walk away. Reading this book will both equip you to be aware of the deceptions in the wider body of Christ, as well as prime you to effectively and intelligently refute them. Don't think your church is immune to this threat, because it isn't! You will also find references on, Who and what Biblically are heretics and heresies? What is 'Anathema'? Why did Paul use it? When should we? Should we judge? Are we allowed to judge? What are the Biblical guidelines for judgment? How can I expect a discussion with a false-grace advocate to go these days? What are the proper guidelines for talking to someone, especially when they are hostile or twisting the Word of God for their own purpose? How can I expect them to twist scripture? Does God judge us today? What is proper Biblical etiquette for having a conversation? And, what do you do if they don't have it? Expect to be challenged to live a life of bold faith cultivated in a heart of intimacy. Expect a message straight out of "All the Words in Red", as well as a systematic basis for understanding why Jesus' words are the only framework for discussing Christianity. Be prepared see the heart of Jesus reflected in the Sermon on the Mount, and to be challenged to walk in greater love, not only in your personal life, but even when dealing with those who are in error.

What did Paul mean when he referred in His epistle to the Ephesians to the unsearchable riches of Christ? And what did he had in mind when he used the term "riches"? In the end, whatever these unsearchable riches might mean, who benefits from them and how can a Christian have them? If you would take up this book and start reading it, you would be surprised seeing that the author started his wonderful analysis on this topic by speaking of... humbleness! He picks up humbleness as the starting point in his exposition on Ephesians 3:8 because that was the apostle's attitude of heart when he started to write on the subject of the riches of Christ! Then he shows how this is the peculiar character of the souls upon whom Christ bestows His spiritual riches. Brooks then opens the Fountain "of the greatest riches, the best riches, the choicest riches" - namely the Person and work of Jesus Christ. "In Him we find overflowing the riches of justification, the riches of sanctification, the riches of consolation, and the riches of glorification.." This book has been originally published in 1655. Current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and slightly updated for modern readers. About the author: Thomas Brooks (1608-1680) was an English nonconformist Puritan preacher and author. He wrote extensively and with a keen eye on devotional Christian life. Brooks died after over 40 years of Gospel ministry, in 1680.

At a time when the church needs an urgent wake-up call and a fresh encounter with Jesus, the hyper-grace message is lulling many to sleep. Claiming to be a new revelation of grace, this teaching is gaining in popularity, but is it true? Or is the glorious truth of grace being polluted by errors, leading to backsliding, compromise, and even the abandonment of faith?

A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Luther said that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is "the article upon which the church stands or falls." R. C. Sproul follows Luther's lead in his concise and compelling work, now repackaged and republished. Justified by Faith Alone surveys the main tenets of the doctrine of justification in Roman Catholicism and evangelicalism. Sproul is careful to accurately represent Catholic beliefs and observes that while both traditions agree that faith is necessary for justification, the difference lies in whether faith alone is sufficient. He explores problems with the Catholic doctrine and champions the sole sufficiency of Christ for our salvation. Effective and engaging, Sproul does not shy away from difficult theological terms and ideas, but capably guides readers through this famous doctrinal dispute. To those who decry the doctrines of imputation and justification by faith alone as "legal fiction," Sproul warns that nothing less than the central message of the gospel is at stake.
