First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes . . . what, exactly? Marriage is hard work. It's often full of failure and heartache. After all, husbands and wives are sinners. And even if they're both Christians who want to serve God and obey Scripture, it can be hard to know how, especially in twenty-first-century America. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a marriage book that was honest about marriage? One that gave everyday practical ...

Who is Jesus? This is the most important question anyone can ask. It's a question every serious person must ask. It's a question Jesus himself asked of his followers: "Who do you say that I am?" There have been other great preachers who could draw a crowd. Other revolutionaries who threatened the political order of their day. Other prophets. But none of them measures up to Jesus. Who is he, really? Why has he had such an impact on human hi...

Augustine. Many know him as one of history's foremost theologians, and his writings continue to guide our understandings of history, philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. Nearly sixteen centuries after his death, high school students are still required to read and contemplate his Confessions.How did one man come to leave such an impression? What motivated him? What were his strengths? What were his sins and weaknesses, and how did he overco...

When God calls us out of our sin and to Himself through the Gospel, He adopts us into His family. That family is the Church. This is a book about what that family should be, what it should do, and why it matters.When we look carefully at the big things of the Bible, it's important for us to examine both the Scriptures and the culture we live in today. We need to know what the Bible says. We also need to understand the ways we are getting thing...

Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He keeps perfect watch over His sheep, and He doesn't need any help. It's amazing, then, to realize that Jesus chooses to share with others the work of shepherding His people. He Himself appoints undershepherds-elders-to carry out the work of leading, guarding, and feeding His sheep.In Elders Reformed, Pastor Tim Bayly and Pastor Jürgen von Hagen bring decades of diverse pastoral experience to helping elders of Chri...

Psalms 21-30 is the third volume in a project to set all 150 psalms to music. It's been fascinating to see how each set of Psalms arranges itself along thematic lines. This album is called Song of the King and tackles the themes of God as Shepherd and King, juxtaposing images of His tenderness and mercy with images of His majesty and power. We're happy to share these songs with you and excited about the leaps forward we were able to make both ...

For this generation of Christians in the western world, sexuality is the battle being waged in the culture. Traditional marriage is out the window and every manner of sexual perversity is being pushed as good and healthy and normal on TV, in the movies, by the mainstream media, and by the fathers of our city and nation. At the forefront of this battle is homosexuality. It's easy for Christians to see the enemy out there-to see all the ways tha...

Psalms 11-20 is the second volume in a project to set all 150 Psalms to music. The Psalms teach us how to think and feel about God, often in ways that aren't natural for sinners like us. This set of Psalms teaches us that God is both our refuge and our avenger in the midst of perilous times-times when God's people have real enemies, and those enemies seem to have the upper hand. We pray that these songs will inspire and encourage God's people-...

In his preface to God's Way of Holiness, Horatius Bonar makes the case that "the way of peace and the way of holiness lie side by side, or rather, they are one." If we as Christians want to have peace, we must have holiness. And if we want to have holiness, we must first have peace with God. Peace & Holiness combines Bonar's two classic devotionals on these twin subjects, God's Way of Peace and God's Way of Holiness. In short and simple chap...

Every father knows failure. It comes with the territory. One generation to the next, imperfect men chip away at God's original design for daddies, leaving a flawed pattern for their sons to follow. Overwhelmed by their failures, it's easy for fathers to feel they have blown it for good and can't redeem themselves. Within these pages, Tim Bayly offers a frank and hope-filled path to overcoming the inherent failures of imperfect fathers-and ...

¿Three of Joseph Bayly's seven children died at young ages. He was intimately acquainted with the pain of death and was all too familiar with what he once called this enemy's "grim violence." But he was even more intimately acquainted with the One who conquered that enemy forever. The View from a Hearse is Joe's simple, helpful meditation on death and grieving. He wrote it for those facing the death of a loved one, those still in the throes ...

A blimp that saves souls. A college student who flies. A conflicted southern preacher in the wake of a local lynching. A mysterious stranger at a corporate Christmas party who turns water into wine.Beginning in the late 1950s, Joe Bayly made it his business to expose the blind spots of American Christianity. How did he do it? He wrote parables-or, as Joe put it, stories on target. And, as it turns out, he did a pretty good job at it.Here in on...

PSALMS 1-10 is the first installment in a project to set all 150 Psalms to music. The first ten Psalms call us back to many themes which have largely been forsaken in today's Christian worship music: love for God's law, Christ's rule over the nations, the fear of God, God's wrath and judgment on the wicked, honest confession of sin, and many more. We hope these new settings will help reform the worship of Christ's people in many churches and h...
