The Spirit of God is moving in people’s hearts, prompting them to speak out against the sins and atrocities in our world. Speaking out comes with a cost. It can be challenging, unpopular, and downright lonely. You will be misunderstood. But those who speak in God’s voice find peace for being faithful to his call. God has always looked for people who are willing to do what He needs done. He takes those imperfect people and baptizes them with passion to do His will. They cannot escape its clutches.

The Ten Commandments by Arthur W. Pink is a short introduction to God’s Moral Law. Pink shows that the Moral Law is still binding on all men today, that humanity will be judged for its violation, and that it is the rule of life and means of sanctification for the Christian.

But if we will let Him into our lives, He will come with His power and change us forever.

The theological system known as Calvinism is often caricatured as harsh, dour, and illogical. But as Dr. Joel R.

He aims to “cover the intellectual and spiritual emphases of Calvinism, the way it influences the church and everyday living, and its ethical and cultural implications.”
