For those who are parents, are about to become parents, or have adult children who are parents, the book Parenting Essentials gives a practical, biblical framework for raising well-adjusted, God-honoring children.
God’s goodness is an immense subject. Stephen Charnock, a seventeenth-century English Puritan, wrote extensively on the subject. In his two-volume work on the existence and attributes of God, he devoted 145 pages to God’s goodness along! Many of us would be hard-pressed to fill one page, but not Charnock. All of God’s acts, he says, are the outpourings of divine goodness. Charnock lists some examples:
Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble and in joy, The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ. Of His deliv’rance I will boast, Till all that are distressed From my example comfort take And lay their griefs to rest.

In part one of this series, we examined the biblical pattern of reminder, and especially Peter’s effort to remind his readers of the basic truths of the Gospel, which he declares in 2 Peter 1:12–15 . By repeatedly coming back to the essentials, Peter sought to prevent his readers from being led astray by false teachers who denied Christ and the Gospel.

Dear Friend,
Warmest Christian Greetings. It is a privilege to write to you on a monthly basis and to hear from you in turn. Thank you for encouraging us as a team and for standing with us in the cause of the Gospel.
Since Jesus’ disciples didn’t yet grasp the reality of His upcoming death and resurrection, they struggled to understand what He meant when He said, “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” In answer to their confusion, Jesus prepared them for His departure by comparing the cross to the agony and joy of childbirth. In his sermon “From Sorrow to Joy,” Alistair walks us through John 16:16–24, clarifying how, like the apostles, we, too, can be assured and rejoice.
If you have friends who can seemingly recite Scripture passages with ease, you might wonder how they do it—and wish that you, too, had full verses right there and accessible in your mind! Well, memorizing Scripture is easier than you think when you follow the simple pattern in the booklet How to Memorize Scripture for Life.
In part one of this series, we examined the biblical pattern of reminder, and especially Peter’s effort to remind his readers of the basic truths of the Gospel, which he declares in 2 Peter 1:12–15. By repeatedly coming back to the essentials, Peter sought to prevent his readers from being led astray by false teachers who denied Christ and the Gospel. Pastors today should take a lesson from Peter and be deliberate in urging the essentials of the Gospel on their own congregations.
