Onward, Christian Soldiers
Protestants Affirm the Church
By John MacArthur, Joel Beeke, Jonathan Gerstner, Don Kistler, James White, John Armstrong, Donald S. Whitney, R. C. Sproul, Phil Johnson, Joseph E. Pipa and John Gerstner

One of the great weaknesses of this generation of professing believers is a lack of understanding of the person and work of Christ, fostered by a paucity of understanding of the church he came to gather and build. Contrary to popular opinion, the church is not an institution created by the religious establishment. According to scripture, it is a body of people who have been assembled through a call or summons. Additionally, the concept of gathering is not so much focused on having a meeting as it is focused on meeting the One who called the gathering together --God. The purpose of assembling together is to hear His voice.

It is not for us to determine, design, or dictate what the church should be. God has already done that. These essays should give believers a greater appreciation and love for what Christ loves, the Church!

The Compromised Church
John H. Armstrong, General Editor
By Mark E. Dever, R.Albert Mohler, David Wells
and Donald S. Whitney, et al

Though many observers believe the evangelical church is still going strong, some are concerned that it is in dire need of theological reformation and spiritual renewal. These thought-provoking essays from some of evangelicalism's leading voices deal with the present state of the Christian church, particularly in the areas of ecclesiology, worship and doctrine. They discuss the evangelical church's perspective on its traditions, worship practices and theology. They also explore what kind of biblical understanding is reflected in the typical church's liturgy, how today's church relates to it's culture, in what ways the church may have compromised itself in ecclesiological matters, and how to respond to those concerns in light of Scripture and church history.
