Ebooks Online

▶ DESCRIPTIONThis publication entitled The Life of Faith is a selection drawn from published books and magazine articles. The intention is to stress Pink’s main emphases, beginning with what God has done for his people and then focusing on certain aspects of the Christian life.Chapter 1 shows the design of God in purposing the death of Christ on behalf of his people. Chapter 2 unfolds the work of the Spirit in the Christian Dispensation; while chapter 3, clearly states the nature of Christian assurance.The remaining chapters concentrate on different aspects of the Christian life. Chapter 4 stresses the need for spiritual development, and Pink makes interesting observations on the meaning of progressive sanctification. In Chapter 5, Pink brings together two important individual spiritual disciplines, Bible reading and prayer. Chapter 6 outlines the believer’s relationship to God’s moral law, summarized in the Ten Commandments.In Chapter 7 Pink examines a common feature of Christian experience—backsliding and restoration as seen in the life of David. Chapter 8 also looks at an individual, Elisha, to see the way believers, and in particular, ministers can be tested by God. Christian submission is the theme of chapter 9—an attitude to be worked out in all relationships of life. The final selection, Grace Preparing For Glory, is an exhortation to live appropriately in the light of tile Second Coming of Jesus.▶ CONTENTS1. Introduction2. The Design of the Atonement3.

From there he pastored churches in California, Kentucky, and South Carolina, before moving to Sydney Australia for a brief period, preaching and teaching.

The Life Of Faith are articles taken from 'Studies In The Scriptures'(from 1930 through 1946).The Studies... was a joint venture began by Pink and I.C.Herendeen in 1922 and continued to be published monthly through 1953(one year after A.W.Pink's death).In the introduction the publisher(Christian Focus Publications)makes this comment "the best of Arthur W.Pink's writings are those in which he explains the practical aspects of the Christian life." Pink believed that it was essential for believers to be sound in doctrine(and his Doctrinal writings are extremely helpful,especially on foundational Christian teaching-The Sovereignty Of God,The Doctrine of Sanctification,The Doctrine Of Justification,The Doctrine Of Election... )but he also believed that it was equally important for Christians to adorn Christian Doctrine with a godly life.We see this emphasis throughout Pink's books.In chapter ten 'Grace Preparing For Glory'-"The sounder I am in doctrine,the more loudly I advertise my orthodox views,the more do I bring that doctrine into reproach if my life be worldly and my walk carnal.""Grace in the heart prevents us from abusing grace in the head.""Grace does not eradicate ungodliness and worldly lusts,but it causes us to deny them.""Ungodliness is failing to give God his due place in our hearts and lives.It is disregarding his precepts and commands."Pink has been called a modern day Puritan by some.I think this is justified by some things that were characteristic of his written ministry.There is an in depth understanding of Biblical doctrine and a detailed exposition of that doctrine and how it should effect the totality of one's life.
