Every Path In The Bible Leads Us To Christ.

Is discipline something you do to your kids--or something you do for them? Biblical discipline is holistic; its ultimate goal is a child's growth in the Lord. That means that the gospel does much more than plug nicely into a discipline program. The gospel is true discipline's driving force, turning parental instruction and training into a rich, transformative part of daily life. And that doesn't happen just by accident. Written by a mom on the front lines, For the Love of Discipline takes short chapters to work through typical discipline issues from a gospel perspective. Along the way, Sara offers personal examples, teaches practical strategies, and shows how to pursue "discipline skills" every day. Moms will stop spinning their wheels in quick fixes and behavior management and find renewed strength in God's own gracious shepherding and love.

Help For The Sufferer.

To the people of Judah, distressed by changing political realities, it seemed that God had lost control of the situation--if he'd ever had it in the first place. Zephaniah warned of imminent judgment but also pointed to hope close at hand: God is both Judge and a Refuge from judgment. In Haggai's day, God's struggling people needed to reorder their priorities and invest themselves in building the Lord's house. Haggai declared that God's renewed presence in their midst would bring renewed blessing. When doubt of the Lord's love and watchfulness led the people into sin and distress, Malachi addressed their concerns and failings one by one. God would not abandon those who feared him, despite a history of rebellion against him. Practical, devotional, and expositional, this commentary delves into the ways these three prophets point us to the sufferings of Christ, the forgiveness of God, and anticipated glories to come.

Humans are neither passive pawns nor morally neutral players--we were made to rule. Through history, we have viewed pride as a necessary tool to achieve the renown, power, or significance that we crave. Meanwhile, humility is misunderstood to be a kind of self-hatred--a weakness that leads to disappointment. Lanier Burns shows that the Bible consistently presents humility as the supreme virtue, while pride is the underlying depravity behind specific sins. Humility's surprising essence is God-centeredness, living for the glory of God rather than self. On the basis of biblical principle, Christ's example, and contemporary need, Pride and Humility at War argues for an unfamiliar connection between true significance and a humble dependence on the Lord, leading to great and lasting reward.

Timothy Miller defends and further develops the foundationally Trinitarian, multiperspectival theological method of John Frame and Vern Poythress, an eminently useful, historically Reformed tool for understanding all created reality.Endorsements"This is a highly stimulating work that makes a very helpful and useful contribution in its argument for utilizing the Trinitarian processions in a Frame/Poythress perspectival account of knowledge and apologetics. In terms of originality, I think the meat of the work lies there, and good meat it is too."-Mike Ovey, Principal, Oak Hill College, London, England"Triperspectivalism is a theological method based on the Bible's teaching about the one God in three persons. Tim Miller's book presents an accurate formulation of this method and explores in depth the origin of the method in the doctrine of the Trinity. I recommend the book highly to those who aspire to be serious students of theological method and of the Trinity itself."-John Frame, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando"Clear and helpful for readers. . . . a valuable resource on the subject. I am grateful that someone with Miller's ability has seen fit to offer the first published book-length study of triperspectivalism, and a good book at that."-Vern S. Poythress, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia

The book of Revelation is a riveting read--but a persistent question Christians have is, "What does it mean?" Pastor-theologian Richard Phillips provides a thorough and penetrating study of each chapter while highlighting the theme of the sovereign rule of Christ over history for the salvation of his church. The apostle John wrote his book with the intention of being understood by real people. Carefully noting how the book's symbolism works, Phillips paints the pictures of Revelation and explains its meaning to readers today. Along the way, readers will see the glory of Christ as the exalted Priest and King for his people, observe the vision of present and future history laid out in Revelation, and discover the powerful pattern of faith by which we may join Christians of all ages in victory.

Moses is renowned as a great lawgiver, prophet, friend of God, and deliverer of his people. The events of his life, spanning four books of the Bible, resound throughout Scripture. In this epic undertaking, James M. Boice delves into the narrative to uncover its rich meaning and gospel application to our lives today. We can learn a lot from Moses about faithfulness, prayerfulness, meekness, and good leadership--we can even learn from his sins and failure! But Boice shows how we can also look beyond Moses and the Israelites to the awesome power of God and the promise of a much needed, much greater Deliverer.

John Frame answers objections to contemporary worship music by noting its biblical strengths and benefits in worship.Endorsements"Here, at last, is a case-and one made articulately and wonsomely-for using contemporary music in worship with theological integrity. . . . it is rare to find an author who makes his case with as much balance."-Reggie M. Kidd"John Frame goes a long way toward sorting out the issues involved in contemporary worship music and making us aware of the criteria for judging it."-William Edgar". . . sorting out the biblical, the theological, the cultural, and the traditional is not always easy. Frame's work will be of tremendous value to everyone seriously considering the topic of worship."-Charles Dunahoö
