When we were children, we didn’t usually understand that the rules our parents laid down for us were born out of their love for us. What is true for parents is also true for God. The rules God has given to us, the Ten Commandments, are not only given to us because He loves us but also they are a transcript of His character. By obeying God’s law, we begin the journey of becoming like Him. The vast majority of people, Christian or not, will readily agree that some of the Ten Commandments are still valid—don’t kill, don’t steal, honor your parents, be faithful to your spouse. The majority of Christians acknowledge that nine of the Ten are still valid. But what about that other one—the fourth? Are we still obligated to keep the fourth commandment? Why is it that the one commandment that God begins with the word “remember” is the one that many people would like to forget? Between these covers you will find a clear, concise, biblical answer to these questions. The author lays out in logical form scriptural evidence that God’s law, including the fourth commandment, was kept—and is intended to be kept—from Eden down through all eternity. The only question you’ll have by the end of the book will be: will I honor God by keeping all ten of His commandments—or not?

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.
