My Final Challenge to Our Readers

The PCA formed under the banner “the continuing church,” because the desire was to have a church committed unapologetically and without the least hesitation to the truth of God revealed in his Word and as defined by our Westminster Standards. If there is one thing the founders of the PCA intentionally desired in seeking to glorify our triune God, it was and has been that the Scriptures will maintain the high place in our practice that they hold in our doctrinal standards.

Understanding Scripture, An Overview of the Bible’s Origin, Reliability, and Meaning

Whether you are a preacher, teacher, growing Christian, you will appreciate this book.  Read it personally for your own benefit, use it topically for teaching and preaching, share it with a friend who may have questions about the Bible and its foundational role in the Christian faith. 

Turning to God, Reclaiming Christian Conversion as Unique, Necessary, and Supernatural

Turning to God deals with conversion. The content of the book centers around the reality that when a person is converted to Christ, there is not simply one part of his or her life that is converted.  Conversion, as we have taught, impacts every area of life, though that is not often understood or highlighted as it should be.  As a result we fail to see the results in people’s lives that we should.

Salvation Belongs To The Lord

While Salvation Belongs to The Lord is unique as it challenges those engaged in full-time teaching and preaching, it is very readable for others in the church. It is an introduction to systematic theology. Before you disregard it as just another theology book, remember from Frame’s other books, he views theology as life and life as theology.

Forever: Why You Can’t Live Without It

The tyranny of the urgent has become our lifestyle; forever has been stolen and we struggle to live without this vital perspective. The here and now overwhelm us or we do not believe there is life after death; therefore, we don’t think about forever. If you are searching for help living in a broken world with broken people, this is a book you definitely should read.

The Task of Christian Education

God has given us a promise in Isaiah and in Habakkuk that the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth as the water covers the sea. The hymn writer picks up that thought. He changes the venue a bit. He says, “Jesus shall reign where’er the sun does his successive journeys run.” We believe that. We sing that. God has called upon us to maintain a faithful and energetic Committee on Christian Education

The Kingdom Misunderstood, Part 1

I begin by introducing you to Bill and Mary Wright. Bill is a 34 year old husband and father of two children, Terry 10 and Susan 7. Mary is a stay at home mom and has home schooled her children for a couple years, though they are presently attending a Christian school that meets in their church. Bill and Mary are active church members and clearly demonstrate a love for the Lord that is obvious to others.

CEP Ministry Focus: The PCA Bookstore

The PCA Bookstore operated by the Christian Education and Publications Committee is the hub of the wheel of CEP’s multifaceted ministry. When the PCA was formed and CEP was established as one of the three program committees, it was assigned the broad categories of training and resources...

Please Don't Ignore Us Seniors - Seniors' Week

Each church is urged to identify the week of September 12-17, 2011 as “Seniors’ Week.” Seize an opportunity to recognize this fast-growing portion of our population and in our church life. Commit that time and some creative energy to fulfilling the frequent Biblical command to “Honor elders.”

Bible Study: Following the Ways of the Word

In preparation for writing this kingdom tool, the author included friends in ministry throughout the world to have a voice in sharing valued perspectives, challenges, and clarification as we think through exactly what we are doing in Bible study. This equipping tool should be in the hands of men and women who hunger and thirst for the Word of God in their own lives and who desire to faithfully pass on its truths to succeeding generations.
