What is this whole "Reformed thing" about? For those who want a good introduction to confessional Reformed Christianity, you can get it from the source with this straight-forward title by my pastor. Welcome to a Reformed Church is concise, clear, and scripturally and historically saturated. I believe it will deepen your faith in Christ and understanding of His church.
Here is an excerpt:
"It is important to note that faith itself does not justify us. Contrary to popular expression, we do not believe we are saved by faith. We believe we are saved by God's grace and that our faith, being a gift of God, "is only an instrument with which we embrace Christ our Righteousness. But Jesus Christ, imputing to us all his merits, and so many holy works, which he hath done for us and in our stead, is our Righteousness. And faith is an instrument that keeps us in communion with Him in all His benefits, which, when they become ours, are more than sufficient to acquit us of our sins." (Belgic Confession Art. 22)" -- Daniel Hyde, Welcome to a Reformed ChurchGet it on Amazon.com, in print or Kindle format.
