Christians often struggle to understand the role of God's law in their lives. They may distort the law, turning it into a checklist to try to earn God's favor, or they may live as though the law doesn't apply to them. In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul explains the purpose of the moral law and how it applies to Christians today. As he walks through each of the Ten Commandments, we see that the law doesn't merely expose our sin; it also reveals the character of a holy and gracious God and shows us how to live lives that are pleasing to Him. The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.

The subject of RENEW YOUR MIND, childhood abuse and trauma, was exceedingly difficult for me to talk about for decades and is still a struggle today. Even today, I feel a bit embarrassed to talk about the things that I survived. But it needs to be done for the sake of helping others to survive and overcome childhood abuse and trauma. The scope of RENEW YOUR MIND will go into many of the traumatic events but will not go into details because that is not necessary. The reader does need to appreciate the level of suffering so they to can appreciate how much the human can survive. The aim of RENEW YOUR MIND is to help the reader to experience the depths of my pain that will make you cringe one moment and then cry the next. The aim of this book is to help any reader to know that they too can survive and overcome the abuses and trauma be it in their childhood or as an adult, even if they are currently within it. RENEW YOUR MIND will be the most biblical, most transformative Christian living book outside of the Bible itself. Regardless of your life struggles, you will discover both spiritual and personal growth. RENEW YOUR MIND closes the book with chapter 6's how serious the sin of child abuse is and its far reaching consequences, chapter 7's the truth about sexual assault, and chapter 8's sexual abuse need not be a lifetime of pain.

What does it mean to be righteous? To be holy? By what standard will God judge us when we die? As the Bible tells us in 1Corinthians 8:2"And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know." For nearly two millennia, Christians have followed the philosophy of Asceticism: a philosophy which teaches that ignorance about sex is bestbecause it is based on Fear. Yet God's philosophy is LOVE; and to love requires knowledge. In this, the second volume of Sex and the Bible, we will therefore take a very close look at the teachings of the Bible, in order to discover what God really thinks about SEX. Roll over, St. Augustine!

What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C. Sproul walks readers through the foundations of the Reformed doctrine and explains how the Reformed belief is centered on God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ. Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.

Since the days of the early church, Christians have struggled to understand the relationship between two seemingly contradictory concepts in the Bible: law and gospel. If, as the apostle Paul says, the law cannot save, what can it do? Is it merely an ancient relic from Old Testament Israel to be discarded? Or is it still valuable for Christians today? Helping modern Christians think through this complex issue, seasoned pastor and theologian Sinclair Ferguson carefully leads readers to rediscover an eighteenth-century debate that sheds light on this present-day doctrinal conundrum: the Marrow Controversy. After sketching the history of the debate, Ferguson moves on to discuss the theology itself, acting as a wise guide for walking the path between legalism (overemphasis on the law) on the one side and antinomianism (wholesale rejection of the law) on the other.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” — 1 John 2:15 Those who struggle with habitual sin are keenly aware of the despair and fatigue that comes from trying harder and harder to control the desire to do what is wrong in the eyes of God. For this person, there be times of limited success in overcoming sin, but eventually he/she falls back again into unhealthy patterns. In "The Expulsive Power of a New Affection", Thomas Chalmers argues that no matter how hard we may try, we’ll never overcome habitual sin in our lives unless we switch our affections from the world to Jesus Christ. Thankfully Christ loved us first and is more than willing to set us free if we’d only realize the true Gospel power that we can all have in our lives today.
