Our book review this month is The Sovereignty of God by Arthur W. Pink. This book was recently given to those who attend the Tuesday morning BIble study, but I am confident a copy will find its way into the library. It is also worth mentioning that we are reading a book similar in subject to two previous reviews, Sinners in the Hands of a Good God and Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ. Read more…

Allow me to offer a very profound sentiment as I begin this month—pain hurts! Even now, as I write these words, I can hear the echoed “Amen” all over town. The “pain of pain” is something well-known to most of us, and it is one of those things that we are fairly certain we could do without.

Our book review this month is The Unfolding Message of the Bible by G. Campbell Morgan. If you can’t or are not willing to “read through the Bible in a year”, this could be an alternative.

Regardless of whether you make “New Year Resolutions” or not, it is not unusual at all to spend some time in the last few days of December and the first few days in January thinking over what has already taken place in our lives.

As a follow-up to last month’s reviewed book on soteriology by David Clotfelter, Sinners in the Hands of a Good God—Reconciling Divine Judgement and Mercy, we’re going to look at another book written almost 4 centuries ago. Clotfelter’s book offers a clear and easy-to-understand style of writing. John Bunyan, on the other hand, is a master of complexity, so intricately integrating the same subject in his soteriological book, Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ, taken from this verse: All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out (John 6:37).

Over the past several months I have endeavored to write for you some understanding of the Christian’s relationship to the world around him or her. We have certainly not exhausted the texts of Scripture that relate to this aspect of the disciple’s life, and we may well return to the topic in the near future.
