You Don't Have to Quit

The biblical theme of spiritual adultery stands in all its bluntness for a deeply offensive sin―the unfaithfulness of God's covenant people in departing from Yahweh, their husband, and going after false gods. Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. begins by showing how the Genesis vision of human marriage provides the logic and coherent network of meanings for the story of Israel's relationship with Yahweh. He traces the specific theme of marital unfaithfulness, first through the historical books of the Old Testament and then through the prophets, particularly Hosea, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Turning to the New Testament he also shows how the sad story of Israel's adultery is transcended by the vision of ultimate reality in Christ and his church―the Bridegroom and the Bride. This beautifully written book, a New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, is marked by careful exegesis and deep sensitivity. It is that rare thing―a work of scholarship that calls readers to love God with an ardor that suffuses all of life. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead. This book was previously published under the title Whoredom.

God's Unfaithful Wife

While devotional works rarely tie in closely to the biblical text, and formal commentaries rarely apply the truths being taught in the Bible, this book uniquely does both at once. Included with each sub-section in Paul's letter are prayers that translate the truths of God's Word into personal worship.

Our understanding of the love of God has been tragically distorted. The comfortable, sentimentalized version we commonly encounter today is far from the biblical depiction of God’s love. Featuring contributions from well-known evangelical scholars, this multi-disciplinary study presents the biblical view of the love of God from the perspectives of systematic theology, biblical theology, apologetics, pastoral theology, and ethics. The contributors―including D. A. Carson, Andreas J. Köstenberger, Raymond C. Ortlund Jr., Robert L. Plummer, and many others―address a variety of issues related to how God’s love is expressed in the Old and New Testaments, the Trinity, apologetics, Christian living, social justice, and more. This addition to the Theology in Community series will promote clear, sound thinking about what Scripture means when it declares that “God is love.”

The Love of God

Marriage reveals something of eternal significance. From the beginning, God designed marriage to convey a greater reality—the passionate, unfailing, redeeming love of God for sinners, the eternal romance between Christ and his bride. In this volume, Ray Ortlund traces marriage throughout Scripture—from the first marriage in the garden of Eden to the ultimate marriage in the book of Revelation—laying out a transcendent vision of marriage that dignifies our own imperfect unions as a display of the gospel. This book offers insight and hope to every married person today.

ESV Men's Devotional Bible (TruTone, Black)

ESV Bibles

The biblical teaching about the deity of Christ is a precious truth and foundational to the Christian faith. It has been called “the most distinctively Christian doctrine of all”—one that must be taught and preserved. With this in mind, Robert Peterson, Christopher Morgan, Andreas Köstenberger, Steve Wellum, Gerald Bray, Alan Gomes, Ray Ortlund Jr., Stephen Nichols, and J. Nelson Jennings have collaborated to develop a theology of Christ’s divinity across multiple disciplines. Combining first-rate evangelical scholarship with rich application, their work examines this central doctrine from contemporary, historical, biblical, systematic, apologetic, and missional perspectives. This accessible volume—the third in the noted Theology in Community series—guides readers to the significance of Christ’s deity across the Old and New Testaments, in Johannine literature, in popular culture and church history, and among cults and world religions. With its keen theological insight and straightforward application, this volume will give pastors, students, and educated readers a clear and useful treatment of the deity of Christ.

Theology

People everywhere are on the hunt for togetherness, coziness, and belonging. That’s because God created us, and God Himself is relational. Father, Holy Spirit, and Son live in the community of the Trinity, and God wants us, too, to be intimately acquainted with Him. He also understands and wants to fulfill our need for human relationships here on earth. In A Fresh Start for Your Friendships, authors Ray and Anne Ortlund provide valuable insights on how to build and foster such relationships. Readers will learn about the different kinds of friendships they can experience, as well as what they can do to strengthen their ability to be a true friend.

Is your greatest passion for God? Do you want Him to change you however He desires and bring you into more intimate fellowship with Him? Even if you're not living out that desire right now, but you long to move in that direction, A Passion for God--drawn from the book of Romans--can help renew the love of God within you. Romans has inspired more leaders of the faith throughout history and spawned more revivals within the church than any other book in the Bible. Augustine, Martin Luther, and John Wesley all pointed to a reading of Romans as the beginning of their spiritual renewal. Indeed, of all Paul's letters, this one, sent to the citizens of the most powerful empire of ancient days, is the most compact, sophisticated, and all-encompassing in its summary of the Christian faith. It is the apostle's divinely inspired admonition that Christ held the answers to all of life's crucial questions. With its dynamic new paraphrase of Romans and the inspiring thoughts and prayers that accompany each passage, A Passion for God translates the truths of this epistle into personal worship. Through this book you will clearly come to see how a thoughtful reading of the biblical message, when applied to your devotional life, can blossom into a living affection for your Creator. As Christians, we need to be empowered by the gospel above all. If you hunger to be rekindled by the holy flames of revival, A Passion for God can created such a fire in your life and ministry. "A Passion for God certainly exudes its purpose in stimulating personal worship. It achieves a unique and thoughtful blend of doctrine and devotion which should prove both helpful and encouraging to the diligent believer." --John F. MacArthur, Jr., pastor and teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA "This thoughtful paraphrase of Romans, coupled to appropriate heart-felt prayers of response and suitable quotations from Christian leaders of the past, is a fresh, helpful and stimulating approach to the greatest of Paul's letters. A Passion for God is a book not to be rushed through, but to be read carefully and with prayer. Your own prayers of praise and a fuller measure of devotion to God will be an inevitable response." --Dr. James Montgomery Boice, minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA "Too often, study of the Letter of Romans is focused exclusively on academic and theological issues that are not brought home to Christian life and devotion. By bringing together a marvelous selection of comments and prayers, Dr. Ortlund forces us to view the Letter to the Romans with the kind of devotional application that our reading of Scripture should always have. The prayers and devotional readings are reflective of accurate exegesis of the text." --Doug Moo, chairman, New Testament Department, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School "Read this book slowly. It is warm with one man's affair with God, and if you read it too fast, you will speed past the Temple and never see it. Above all, thank the Father that here and there, in a world over-concerned with popular Christianity, comes a man who cares more for Christ than Christianity. Read this book and, as you read, you will again see the glorious Christ high and lifted up." --Calvin Miller, author

Ministry & Evangelism

Isaiah is widely considered the deepest, richest, and most theologically significant book in the Old Testament. It is, without question, a profound statement by God about his own sovereignty and majesty spoken through his chosen spokesman, the prophet Isaiah.
In this expository commentary on the book of Isaiah, Raymond C. Ortlund, Jr., argues that Isaiah imparts a single vision of God throughout all sixty-six chapters. It is a unified, woven whole presenting God's revelation of himself to mankind, breaking through our pretense and clashing "with our intuitive sense of things." Ortlund makes a point of man's uninterest in God and his unfailing inclination to disbelief, and thus the need for God to "interrupt our familiar ways of thinking."
The emphasis of this addition to the Preaching the Word series is this: God saves sinners. He saves them willfully and powerfully and needs no help from us, presenting himself in all his unmistakable glory. The message of Isaiah, shown thoroughly and thoughtfully in this commentary, will reignite a passion for the glory of God in the hearts of believers and will present that glory clearly and potently to those who have yet to be brought to saving faith.
