Showing titles in Ethics

Here’s what THE OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST VOICE is doing, in plain terms: Purpose of the book: It treats Old School Baptist hymnody as “portable theology”—not decoration, but a doctrinal “fence” and a survival tool for afflicted saints. The argument is that hymnbooks reveal what a people trusted, feared, and guarded in worship. Foreword (emotional thesis): The foreword frames congregational singing as theology carried on breath—a lived confession shaped by suffering, perseverance, and Christ’s sufficiency. It warns against modern music-as-technology (mood, manipulation, “results...

Il est fréquent d’entendre les gens parler de santé, de richesse et de prospérité comme étant des signes de la bénédiction de Dieu. Cependant, Jésus a dit que ce sont les pauvres, les persécutés et les personnes qui souffrent qui sont bénis. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul examine une section bien appréciée du Nouveau Testament appelée les « béatitudes ». Il utilise les célèbres paroles prononcées par Jésus au début du sermon sur la montagne pour expliquer que la vraie bénédiction n’est possible qu’en saisissant la grâce de Dieu en Jésus-Christ.

Dr. Worden carefully traces the historical shift through the centuries of Christianity through the Reformation on how profit-seeking and wealth are assumed to be related to the sin of greed.

When Jesus spoke the words, “As in the days of Noah,” He provided a profound and sobering parallel between the time preceding His second coming and the antediluvian world that existed before the great flood. This phrase, found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, serves as a critical warning and a prophetic insight into the spiritual and moral state of humanity at the end of the age.

This book asks one of the oldest and most important questions in Christianity: is Jesus the Most High God, or is He the Son of the Most High? Drawing from Scripture, history, and honest debate, it unpacks why the Trinity formula of “three who’s and one what” leaves more confusion than clarity.

Written in a clear, down-to-earth style, it invites both seekers and believers to see...

While the "Solid Ground" titles which were taken from the book "Solid Ground" discuss various aspects of biblical doctrine and why they are important, "Meat and Drink Issues" explore those differences among Christians that aren't really important, how we should handle those differences, and how we can tell the difference between what's important and what isn't.
