Wisdom From a Lifetime of Service to God Bible Text with Each Quote Ideal Devotional Book

Benedictions from Dale Ralph Davis' Ministry Foreword by Derek W. H. Thomas Afterword by Sinclair B. Ferguson

The working of God in all parts of our lives, in small things as well as great, we call ‿providence‿. These special workings of his providence are not mere accidents. From the day of our birth, to the day of our death, God is working for the good of those who have been called according to his purpose. In this simplified and abridged form of his 1677 classic work entitled Divine conduct or The Mystery of Providence John Flavel addresses how God works providentially in our lives, as well as why and how we should think deeply about these providences. An encouragement to Christians to taste and see the good God has done in our own lives.

The fact that some who profess to be Christians fall away from the faith has always been an obstacle to God‿s people, but we are told in the Bible that those who God has called are saved forever. How then are we to understand the saints‿perseverance in the Christian life? How are we to view our lives in the light of God‿s everlasting covenant and Christ‿s completed work of salvation? What is our motivation to finish the race?John Owen‿s work The Doctrine of the Saints‿Perseverance Explained and Confirmed was originally published in 1654 and this easier‿to‿read abridgement is still relevant to Christians today.

Even good things can become idols if we give them central importance in our lives. Having children changes everything, and as mothers, we risk looking for life, purpose and meaning in motherhood. While being a mother brings its unique set of challenges, these years of raising children and helping them grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord provide an opportunity to grow in our own Christlikeness as well. Writing from her own personal experience as a mom, Christina Fox encourages mothers to prayerfully and thoughtfully examine their own hearts, and to let God use motherhood as a means of sanctification. Split into three sections, the first chapter looks at the meaning motherhood;chapters 2‿4 are about idolatry; chapters 5‿9 focus on a few different idols that mothers might worship (not an exhaustive list, but a common few); and the final chapters are about facing idols, dethroning them, and turning our heart back to the One true God. Chapter titles include:Part I1.   The Sanctifying Work of Motherhood2.   Made for Worship3.   What is Idolatry?4.   Identifying Idols in Our LivesPart II5.   The Idol of Children6.   The Idol of Achievement and Success7.   The Idol of Comfort8.   The Idol of Control9.   The Idol of ApprovalPart III10. Turning from Our Idols11. Turning to Christ

Academic Commentary Isaiah as author of whole book Yahweh's determination to redeem his people

There are many academic commentaries, but very few hold to an inerrant view of Scripture as Mentor commentaries do. This series of expositions of Scripture successful refute wilder departures from orthodoxy whilst appreciating and learning from latest theological research. This expanding series includes commentaries on the Old and New Testament. Isaiah is a book of literary, historical, theological and ecclesial riches. Paul R. House contends that Isaiah wrote the whole book during his long ministry. Predicts the coming of the Messiah. Strives to treat Isaiah as a prophetic book, as a work that highlights major themes such as creation, sin in its many manifestations (e.g. covenant breaking), proper ethical behaviour, approaching judgement often described as ‿the day of Yahweh‿, and renewal effected by Yahweh‿s redeeming work. Yahweh displays indomitable determination to redeem in Isaiah. The creator will redeem his people. He will give them a permanent home in a new heavens and earth, a perfect Zion, and a safe place. The redeemedwill come from many nations, and theywill serve him in their lifetimes and beyond. Sin and death cannot stop this plan. All Yahweh‿s covenants will be kept, the dead shall rise, justice will prevail, and the Davidic messiah will play the key role in this inexorable victory.
