The book argues that calling God “a person” must be defined carefully: not “a human being,” but a living “who” who speaks, wills, loves, covenants, judges, and relates. It then applies that to Scripture’s presentation of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as personal agents—God is not an impersonal force, and the gospel itself assumes personal communion and reconciliation with God rather than alignment with an abstract principle. From an Old School Baptist angle, it compares Trott and Beebe as sharing the same core confession—one God truly revealed as Father, Son, and Spirit—...

According to a book from 2020, “non-causative predestination” is basically a modern guardrail phrase: it tries to protect two claims the author insists Scripture teaches plainly—God’s sovereignty over all events and God’s holiness as “not the moral author of sin”—without letting human “logic” bully the Bible into choosing only one of them. The Foreword’s core complaint is that many controversies come from confusing mystery with contradiction. A contradiction would be God being holy and unholy “in the same sense.” Mystery is God being “sovereign over all events”...

The Christ of God - Volume I Who He Is. Who is Jesus Christ-before tradition, before argument, and before the cross? The Christ of God is not a devotional and not a biography. It is a Christological work that begins where many discussions do not: with identity. Volume I examines who Christ is apart from human projection, cultural framing, or emotional reduction. Drawing directly from Scripture, this volume explores Christ as eternal, sent, anointed, and sovereign-revealing a Messiah whose authority precedes incarnation, suffering, and resurrection. Rather than treating Jesus as a response ...

Do we shape our own destinies, or are our lives woven into God’s eternal plan? In Free Will v. Predestination, Chandler Rivinius embarks on a profound and personal journey through scripture to wrestle with one of Christianity’s most enduring questions. With wit, humility, and a deep reliance on the KJV of the Bible, this book invites listeners to explore the delicate balance between human agency and divine sovereignty.

Throughout history, Christians have pictured the relationships between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit through analogies. Such illustrations—some from the West but also from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and other places—come laden with theological ramifications that the church has rejected (heresies) or embraced (doctrines). In Three in One, William David Spencer shares a lifetime of insights from teaching within the global church, bringing fresh images and analogies of the Trinity to deepen our theological vocabulary.

Being miraculously normal is reflected in a being who is loving, caring, forgiving, enduring, and living in this present world. This book is the third in this series forming a trilogy and expounds on the Lord’s prayer in John 17 for all his people to become one - as one as the father and the son are one. In his prayer, he gave three gifts to accomplish the oneness of his people: eternal life, truth and his glory. When previously divided, even hostile people can become one in this present conflicting and confusing age.

Christ Condemned is a critical examination of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity, following in the long tradition of employing philosophy to understand and defend the teachings of scripture.

If Charles Spurgeon was the Prince of Preachers, one might say that J. C. Ryle was the Prince of Theology. Not as catchy of a title perhaps, but it’s true. While he is widely known for his book Holiness, his sermons on faith are equally as powerful, and practical. John Charles Ryle, widely known as J.C. Ryle, was a prominent figure in the 19th-century Anglican Church, renowned for his unwavering commitment to evangelical principles and his influential role as a bishop, pastor, and writer.

Redemption is the heartbeat of the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, the sacred pages tell one great and unified story—a story not fragmented or accidental, but divinely orchestrated from before time began. This story of redemption is not linear alone, nor does it end in tragedy or suspension; it is circular in nature. It begins in the eternal heart and mind of God before the foundation of the world and circles back to the eternal future where God will dwell with His redeemed people in a restored creation forever. It is a cycle of divine love, justice, mercy, and glory that unfolds ...

Why God’s Sovereignty 1. It Shapes Our View of God God’s sovereignty means He rules over all things with wisdom, power, and love. Without this truth, we might see God as small, limited, or distant. But when we grasp His sovereignty, we recognize Him as the Almighty who cannot be overruled. It gives us reverence, awe, and worship, because we know He is the supreme King. 2. It Brings Comfort in Suffering Life is filled with trials, grief, and unexpected losses. If everything were left to chance, we would live in fear and despair.
