Christian Living
Living in Christ Ministries offers numerous Study Aids, Bible Study Outlines, and other aids for the Christian.
Jesus Christ: The Pattern of Piety This is a study of various aspects of the life of Jesus Christ taken from the gospel accounts, and which provides a consistent pattern of piety for the people of God for their daily lives. We all need a role model, and there is none better than Jesus Christ Himself. Since the goal of redemption is conformity to the likeness of Christ, this study is designed to help the serious Christian to make significant progress in that very objective. This is an extremely practical study (146 pages).
Praying According to the Divine Pattern Prescribed by Jesus This work concentrates primarily on the Lord’s Prayer and His instructions on praying and fasting as it is presented in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) and His Farewell Discourse (John 13-17). It also includes the teaching of the apostles on the subject as well, with additional material including expository thoughts on the Lord’s prayer by J.C. Ryle; a sermon on “The Filial Spirit of the Lord’s Prayer” by Octavious Winslow; and a sermon on “Prayer and Practice” by John Angell James (150 pages).
The God of Promise and the Life of Faith This is an in-depth study on the nature of saving faith from a series of sermons on that subject. There are approximately 20 sermons dealing with the most significant concepts and key biblical texts on the subject. These are followed by studies on the faith of our Lord Jesus; an exposition of Hebrews 11; the Sabbath rest of faith reveled in Hebrews 4; and then several sermons on faith by well regarded and highly esteemed Christian authors such as J.C. Ryle and others. This is a very realistic study, with much emphasis placed upon practical application at every point (173 pages).
The One Another Commands of the New Testament This
is a practical treatment of the more than twenty
“one another commands” found in the New
Testament. Essentially, this work explores our
mutual responsibility in the body of Christ. The
responsibility of “ministering” was never
intended to be the role of the pastor
exclusively, for God has gifted every member to
minister. In fact, He commands that we do so.
This notebook will help you understand what
these commands are, and how to put them into
practice. The edition also includes a lengthy
addendum on the one another commands and “things
indifferent,” or the issue of Christian liberty
in matters that are not essentially moral in
nature (130 pages).
The Pursuit of God This is a brief study about the practical knowledge of the fear of God. The chapters include The Supreme Excellence of God, Finding Our Delight in God, Walking in the Fear of God, Enjoying the Fatherhood of God, and The Biblical Gospel and the Attributes of God. It closes with a practical sermon by the Puritan Thomas Watson on “The Happiness of Drawing near to God” (40 pages).
Drawing Near to God Many Christians seem to struggle, to one degree or another, with their devotional life. This study is designed for such people. It is intentionally very practical and will provide you with some helpful instructions on enjoying personal communion with God by turning devotions into real devotion (82 pages).
Holiness to the Lord An in-depth study on the subject of personal holiness in the life of the Christian. It is not meant to be a treatise on theoretical sanctification, but rather a real help to the people of God in their pursuit of true biblical holiness. In addition to many important matters that are covered thoroughly, great emphasis is given to the New Covenant way of holiness, and the believer's progress in holiness. A careful study of this material will challenge your spiritual life with God (201 pages).
Winning the Battle in Spiritual Warfare This is an in-depth study in this controversial subject, which is either ignored altogether or over-emphasized in the modern church. Attention is given to the role of Satan and demons as it is revealed in Scripture, with equal emphasis being given to the Christian’s ability to withstand him by putting on the armor of God. There is an extensive outline of the devices of Satan and the remedies against them from the book Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices, by the Puritan Thomas Brooks. Little else is in print today that covers this entire subject so thoroughly (200 pages).
The Cross of Christ These were sermons in the form of communion meditations on the practical aspects and redemptive benefits of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. They were from various portions of the Scriptures, but mostly from the gospel records in the New Testament. Each one was intended to reveal some particular aspect of the cross of Christ so as to stir our heart to devotion, and to stimulate us to walk closer to the Savior (85 pages).
The Identifying Marks of a Healthy Church This is a basic manual for church membership and a useful guide for church life and conduct. Altogether there are fourteen indispensable marks identified. It covers all of the essentials for basic church life and practice, from the nature of the church, to preaching, evangelism, worship, discipline, leadership, etc. It was developed with church members in mind so as to help them better understand their amazing privileges and responsibilities in the church of Christ (120 pages).
Evangelism in the Real
World
This
is a practical manual on how to proclaim the
gospel of Jesus Christ in an effective manner.
But it is grounded in the theology of the nature
and need of the sinner; the saving work of
Christ; and the gospel which is the power of God
unto salvation. Emphasis is placed upon the free
offer of the gospel, and the distinction between
the gospel itself and the sinner�s response to
it. Drawing primarily from the examples of Jesus
and Paul, practical steps are given for
evangelizing (103 pages).

The Promise Driven Life
“An Examination of This
Propositional Statement: The Lord Jesus
Christ Lived the Purpose Driven Life in
order that All His
People Might Live the Promise Driven Life.
The entirety of the Christian life is to be
lived by grace alone, through faith alone, in
God’s provision and His promises. I have
developed this theme from 20+ precious promises
of God, each of which was calculated to be very
practical for the believer (107 pages).
