It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C. Sproul walks readers through the foundations of the Reformed doctrine and explains how the Reformed belief is centered on God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ. Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.

Chase Sears discusses this relationship between the Church and Israel, and he explains how that affects our understanding of the Old Testament. Using a biblical-theological approach to the book of Romans, Sears argues that Paul understood the church not as a replacement of Israel, but as the new Israel—the continuation of Israel reconstituted in Christ. And Jesus, as the Son of God, is the true Israel who fulfills all of God's purposes for Israel and creation. Sears shows how the Old Testament promises to Israel are being fulfilled in the Church.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →God's Vineyard, Israel is a book about God's relationship with Israel. It is an exposition of Israel's spiritual condition, starting with God's deliverance of Israel from slavery and His ongoing intervention in their lives up to their spiritual decline. According to 1 Corinthians 10:11, Israel serves as an example for instruction for those upon whom the end of the ages have come, i.e. those who live in the latter days. Israel's turning to idolatry, false gods and syncretism (the fusion of holy with unholy) led to their falling away from God. Th e same falling away of the church is mentioned by Paul in the second book of Th essalonians which is indicative of the time toward the end of the age or the fulfi llment of the times of the Gentiles. A clear pattern emerges from those who are delivered from the kingdom of darkness into salvation and then the yearning for their previous condition. After God delivered Israel from Egypt, the Israelites yearned for their past. Th ereby, the repeated exhortation from Jesus Christ and others in the New Testament serve to explain the necessity to persevere unto the end. Th e similarity between ancient Israel and the modern church is noteworthy and one can only understand what is and will happen to the church through the example of Israel. Th is instruction is not only prophetic but serves as clear instruction and warning for modern believers. An analysis of idolatry and the consequences thereof explain the past, current and future probability of life as we know it. Contrary to world opinion of the causes and solutions to pollution, the Bible clearly states that it is the spiritual condition of mankind that determines the state of the earth. Th e Old Testament asserts that when Israel repented God often relented of the calamities He intended to send to them due to their idolatry. God's Vineyard, Israel makes for interesting and relevant reading for all people and often provides God's perspective rather than people's opinions or speculations. God's Vineyard, Israel provides examples of God's wrath and ancient judgments with the overwhelming message that few are saved! In between the severity of God's dealings with Israel and their ongoing rebellion is chapter 4, God's solution to humanity, His Son, Jesus Christ whose coming was prophesied throughout the Old Testament, the One who embodied God's grace and love for humanity! God's Vineyard is pertaining to the times in which we live, whereby increasingly people are falling away from the truth, seeking to create their own reality. It is a book led by the Holy Spirit of God and therefore relevant to the current spiritual condition that prevails throughout the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Why do the books of Chronicles regard the performance of choral music as an integral part of the sacrificial ritual at the temple, despite the lack of sanction for it in the Pentateuch? And why do they stress that it must be synchronized with the presentation of the regular public burnt offering at the temple? These and other questions are answered in this challenging new volume. After an introductory chapter defining the scope of the study as an analysis of the ritual function and theological significance of sacred song, the author examines the divine institution and royal establishment of the Levitical choir in Jerusalem. This is followed by an examination of the components of the Lord's song in terms of its contents, location, times, instruments and performers. A chapter on the function of sacred song as determined by its place within the sacrificial ritual follows, and the fifth chapter deals with its theological significance as the proclamation of the Lord's presence with his people.
