Spurgeon’s On Calvinism by C.H. Spurgeon

On Calvinism

Doctrine – Theology  by 
C. H. Spurgeon

“There was a natural hatred in my soul of anything holy and good.” Had you ever felt that way before? Are you a bad person if once upon a time, you did feel that way? That was a confession from Charles H. Spurgeon, the Prince of Preacher. As a youth, he listened to preaching and found himself not believing any word he heard because he did not see the grace of God on it. But as he continued his walk, he found out that even if he ran away, he was being chased by His grace—the kind of love who never let him go.
This classic contains Spurgeon’s retrospection of his conversion and reflections of his life’s mission. In this compilation of sermons, he cleared away the misinterpretation of Calvinism. He said that as believers, we should begin our faith with a good solid foundation to bring much fruit during our lifetime and hopefully, this book may help clear the way.

Thus Saith The Lord

Doctrine – Theology  by 
Octavius Winslow

What if your wounding and healing came from the same hands? How come that separation from the world doesn’t mean being monkish but being with people despite being different? How does taking revenge differs from seeking justice? How did those paradoxes arise in the first place?
The Scriptures are being attacked by both affirmed enemies and sworn friends. However, the most dangerous enemies are among those who profess the faith but twisted His teachings. They add or subtract something from what He said that led to the misinterpretation of what He truly meant.
In this classic work, Dr. Octavius Winslow took misused verses and explained them in the context of His divine love. This writing may be a century old, but it shed light on teachings that are commonly misread. Let us learn from a man who experienced hardships from childhood and struggled throughout his life, but clung to what the Lord had said and lived his life on it.

Studies on Saving Faith

Doctrine – Theology  by 
A. W. Pink

“What must I do to be saved?” man’s typical question.
“Accept Christ as Lord and Savior,” Christian’s typical reply. But is accepting Christ in our head enough to be saved while our ‘heart is in love with sin’?
“No one can receive Christ as his Savior while he rejects Him as Lord,” wrote A.W. Pink. One of the diseases of this age is that many professed believers bark up the wrong tree by seeking to be saved from hell instead of being saved from sin. That’s why many thought they are ‘bound for heaven but wake up in hell’.
In this classic work, A.W. Pink encouraged us to look at the two sides of the same coin with equal dedication to see the scripture for what it is. He tackles how those who teach about Christ had sugarcoated the gospel without teaching about remorse for sin. He also tackles how those who claim to be saved brag about their salvation without genuine repentance. This book was written in the 1930s. But it is still relevant today, or rather, especially today. Let’s cast out the glazed teachings about the gospel and apply to our lives the genuine ones, so that we may live our lives according to His purpose.

Divine Inspiration of the Bible by A.W. Pink

Divine Inspiration of the Bible

Doctrine – Theology  by 
A.W. Pink

Are Christians a company of fanatics who thinks that they are always right? Or are they people who desire to be corrected if they are mistaken? Is the Bible a work of divine inspiration? Or is it merely a work of a poetic or an intellectual individual?
For the past century, there have been assaults made against the Divine origin of the Bible in the name of scholarship and science. Sadly, some who stand in the pulpit even claimed to defend the truth but sow seeds of doubt to those they minister.
In this book, A.W. Pink tackles why the Bible is divinely inspired. He laid out some reasons such as (1) the honesty of writers for not concealing their folly, (2) the timeless truths for what is true back then is still true today, (3) the fulfillment of its prophecies, (4) the unity of the scripture despite diverse authorship in various timelines, and many more. The book contains only 71 pages. If you want to deepen your knowledge without getting intimidated by the thickness of the reading material, this book suits you.

The Satisfaction of Christ by A.W. Pink

Satisfaction of Christ

Doctrine – Theology  by 
A.W. Pink

The death of Christ is the most remarkable event in all history, for it marks the beginning of the current era. Its uniqueness is unparalleled, for it was foretold in full detail centuries before it happened. The prophets that God raised up in Israel directed their thoughts and expectations to the revelation of God as He came down on Earth, died on the cross, and was resurrected. However, many highly intelligent and well-meaning Christians simply do not have answers or understanding of these deep truths. More than scholars and apologists, we simply need persons who thoroughly know the message of salvation, and A.W. Pink does. This book contains text that can be the most blessed information any creature could ever look into, and it is in our hands to access it.

Stewardship of the Mystery

Doctrine – Theology  by 
T.Austin-Sparks

Why did the Father send Jesus to be with us? What is His eternal purpose for doing so? Answering this is like explaining the concept of the internet to an ant. But He chose to reveal His Son in our lives through His Spirit, not only in our spiritual life but also within our everyday practical lives. Austin Sparks is a respected voice from our past. He spoke with clarity, depth, and passion on this theme not well understood in today’s struggling church. This book defines the mystery of God about the church. As stewards of His creation from the beginning, Christians are also stewards of this mystery. If you want to understand the more spiritual side of the Christian walk, you should add this book to your quest.

Regeneration Or the New Birth

Doctrine – Theology  by 
A. W. Pink

As Adam’s fallen descendants, we are unfit for Heaven and bound for Hell because of the bondage of sin. If that’s the case, who then can be saved? What can we do to attain salvation? Jesus answered that with men, it is impossible. But with God, all things are possible.
Though born to Christians parents, AW Pink embraced Theosophical society. Through his father’s patient rebuke from the Scriptures, he converted to Christianity. Proverbs 14:12 specifically struck his heart and compelled him to follow Jesus.
In this book, Pink emphasized the need for illumination and explained why men need to be born again. For an accurate Biblical perspective of God’s saving work, we need a proper understanding of the doctrine of regeneration. Pink’s work is undoubtedly one of the finest books available in this doctrine.

Almost Christian Discovered

Doctrine – Theology  by 
Matthew Mead

How low can a believer fall and yet have true grace? How high may a hypocrite attain and yet have no grace? A Christian is a person who believes and follows Christ, but what does it take to follow Him? Many who claims that they are Christians do not really know what it is to be a Christian. Unfortunately, those who claim beliefs without true faith do more harm to the Gospel than the enemy of Christ. In this book, Mead will help us see how we could be zealous for God yet possibly miss heaven and how we can avoid such eternal disaster. It shows the symptoms of false conversion and the remedies that can be taken for true faith in Christ. As we read this book, let’s search our own hearts that we may be true to the faith we are professing.
