Free Stuff Fridays (Ligonier Ministries)

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Ligonier Ministries, who also sponsored the blog this week.

These days Martin Luther is known as the man who stood against popes and emperors in defense of the gospel. What drove this lone German monk to defy the Roman Catholic Church?

Today, Ligonier Ministries is offering R.C. Sproul’s Luther and the Reformation as a free download for Challies readers. In this ebook, Dr. Sproul surveys several crisis moments in the Life of Martin Luther, showing how they ultimately led to his rediscovery of the gospel revealed in Scripture.

In addition, you can also enter to win one of ten hardcover copies of Ligonier’s 500th-anniversary edition of The Bondage of the Will, Luther’s classic book defending humanity’s absolute need for God’s sovereign grace in salvation.

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well

    There are few topics that have proven trickier to navigate than the topic of authority. We know we need authority to function as families, churches, and nations, yet there is something deep within our sinful humanity that causes us to rebel against it wherever it exists. We both want it and despise it.

    The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    There are some elements of public worship that receive a great deal of attention. These elements are taught, practiced, rehearsed, and perfected until they are as good as they can be. In most churches, this includes the music, of course, and often the preaching. Why do these receive so much attention?
