Hypocrisy replaces virtue when men cover their sins rather than confess them to God. This is all too common when men do not preach and practice a Biblical doctrine of confession. The challenge is first to restore the meaning of confession as taught in the Scriptures. As long as confession is seen as a Romanist doctrine, we have no hope of recovering this vital aspect of Christianity. In this path-breaking volume, R. J. Rushdoony examines the Biblical teaching on confession and sets it over against the errors of Romanism and the neo-Freudianism of modern Christian counseling.

If we read the Old School/New School Presbyterian controversy the way a historian reads a fracture line in rock, the key point is this: it wasn’t a single doctrinal dispute, but a whole system—a package deal—about what Christianity is, how grace works, and who gets to steer the church. Your summary file already captures that “bundle” structure well: doctrine, revival method, polity, and institutional power all moving together. On the Old School side (Princeton-centered figures like Hodge, Alexander, Miller, and the more combative Breckinridge/Junkin wing), the animating fear was ...

One of the most subtle and destructive dangers facing Christians throughout history is not open rebellion against Christ, but a gradual return to law-based thinking after having been set free by grace. Scripture consistently warns that bondage does not always enter the Church through immorality or unbelief, but often through misplaced zeal for righteousness that quietly shifts confidence away from Christ and back onto human performance. The apostle Paul recognized this danger early in the life of the Church, which is why so much of the New Testament is devoted not merely to preaching ...

“En los últimos años, el debate acerca de estos asuntos en la Iglesia del evangelio ha sido enriquecido por la aparición de literatura bautista reformada. Varios libros nuevos de excelencia han salido de las imprentas; y en este último, escrito por el Dr. Samuel Renihan, encontramos una contribución considerablemente importante al tema. Es de necesaria lectura, especialmente para estudiantes de teología y hombres prudentes que se están beneficiando mucho de la comunión, la predicación y las vidas piadosas de nuestros hermanos paidobautistas, tanto de los que viven hoy como de ...

Aurelius Augustinus (354-430), bishop of Hippo Regius (the modern Annaba in Algeria), is considered one of the outstanding thinkers in Western Christian civilization, Catholic and Protestant alike. Particularly influential has been his pessimistic doctrine of divine predestination, which holds that only a small proportion of humanity has been selected by God for salvation, while the overwhelming majority, including all unbaptized persons, are damned. The book is for all listeners attracted to Christian doctrine.

The precise meaning of the Roman Catholic dogma summarised by the maxim “outside the Church there is no salvation” is one of the most controversial topics in all of contemporary theology. Indeed, the question of who can and who cannot be saved according to this doctrine is fiercely disputed by nearly all those who call themselves Catholic. However, by means of extensively thorough research and systematic argumentation, this monumental and exhaustively comprehensive text seeks to bring uncompromising clarity to all aspects of this crucial debate. Using the authoritative sources of the ...

LA EXPIACIÓN ES LA MÉDULA DEL EVANGELIO La muerte de la muerte en la muerte de Cristo es una obra polémica, destinada a demostrar, entre otras cosas, que la doctrina de la redención universal es antibíblica y destructiva del Evangelio. Quienes no ven necesidad de exactitud doctrinal y no tienen tiempo para debates teológicos que ponen de manifiesto las divisiones entre evangélicos pueden lamentar su publicación. A algunos les parecerá tan chocante la tesis de Owen que se negarán a leer su libro. Pero hoy en día hay señales de un nuevo auge del interés por la teología de la ...

Love That Never Fails: The Case for Universal Reconciliation By Michael Del Brown Is eternal torment truly the final word of a loving God? For centuries, the doctrine of hell as unending conscious torment has cast a shadow over Christian theology—fueling fear, silencing questions, and painting God as more wrathful than merciful. But what if this picture is not only flawed, but unbiblical? In Love That Never Fails, former pastor and lifelong Bible teacher Michael Del Brown invites readers on a transformative journey through Scripture, history, and theology to rediscover the radical power ...

Honestly, what is the real truth of salvation? What must we really do to obtain eternal life? In the book The Salvation Equation, Gabriel Ansley Erb answers these questions very clearly through a simple equation. The equation was born out of God’s message behind the Israelite’s story of bondage in Egypt, deliverance through Moses, and wilderness journey to a promised land, which is the anointed message Gabriel received from God on December 8, 2007.

1. The Opening Cry from the Cross Psalm 22:1 “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Fulfillment: Jesus quotes this exact verse while hanging on the cross: Matthew 27:46 Mark 15:34 This is not despair—it is Jesus identifying Himself as the subject of Psalm 22, directing all witnesses to the prophecy being fulfilled before their eyes. 2. Public Mockery and Ridicule Psalm 22:6–8 “I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would...

The term “Ordo Salutis” is a Latin phrase meaning “the order of salvation.” The Ordo Salutis is a theological construct of what is believed to be a logical sequence of events in God’s work of saving a sinner and bringing that saved sinner to heaven. The Ordo Salutis as generally conceived begins with God’s choices concerning salvation. The Ordo Salutis I propose begins with God’s decision to create the universe and why he decided to create: to manifest his glory. That beginning affects the way the entire Ordo Salutis is viewed. The focus of this book is more than words, it is ...

Grace is everywhere, all around us, all of the time. We only need the ears to hear it and the eyes to see it. It is much easier and perhaps more helpful to describe what grace feels like through stories and images that illustrate the varied ways grace is experienced when encountered in the wild...

By dying to self, the Christian disciple is divested of all taint of the flesh and shall attain eternal glory. .

So many of the discussions that we hear today about “Social Justice” are missing the centerpiece of everything: Jesus’ justice. An observation such as this is not at all trivial. Those who try to define justice apart from the One who is holy, righteous, and just may as well try to build a sky-scraper without a blueprint or engineer. History reveals that when mere mortals contrive their own definitions and standards of justice, grave atrocities often result. Remarkably, this historical habit is occurring once again. Many today are proceeding as the torch-bearers of a new pathway to ...

John 17:20 “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;” In the powerful statement above, we read about Jesus putting His seal of approval on the apostles whom He entrusted to carry on His message after He ascended into heaven. Jesus was able to do this because of His foreknowledge of their future. If they would have strayed from His original intent for them to preach His unadulterated Word, He would have foreknown it, and accordingly would not have directed us to believe on Him through their word. Knowing this important truth, we can ...

Chapter one of this text provides a general introduction to the five points of Calvinism and for the acrostic, TULIP. The intent, whenever possible, has been to share direct quotes from Pastor John Calvin on each of the points as a way to let him speak for himself. When that was not possible, the intent was to find and present consensus on the given point by other professing Calvinists. Their comments were provided along with the Bible verses that they had used to defend their position. The main premise of Calvinism is that God chooses those who will be saved and those who will be lost. So ...

In Knowing the Cross, Geoffrey Thomas investigates God’s Word to understand the true meaning of the cross of Christ. Do you understand how this instrument of death became a symbol of life? How the verdict of bad news for Jesus became a declaration of good news for His people?
