Join our mailing listI think the book of Galatians is not primarily to do with an initial reception of the gospel at salvation, but more: it teaches us as believers, as it taught the Galatians, that we can operate on a performance-based acceptance with God - Christ plus... Christ plus my performance... Christ plus my good works... Christ plus the meetings... Christ plus the sacraments... Christ plus keeping away from bad things... Christ plus doing good things... Now listen carefully to what I'm saying, because I'm standing firmly on the authority of the word of God: both are forms of legalism. That is, believing that you need something more than Christ to be saved, and also believing that you need to do more to keep saved and to keep in 'good tick' - as we would say here in Ulster - with Almighty God. Both are forms of legalism, and both, I believe, are what Paul is writing against in his epistle... [Listen or read more...]

[PDF] Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices - Thomas BrooksPrecious Remedies Against Satan's Devices [PDF]
by Thomas Brooks

'The strange opposition that I met with from Satan in the study of the following discourse hath put an edge upon my spirit, knowing that Satan strives mightily to keep these things from seeing the light that tend eminently to shake and break his kingdom of darkness, and to lift up the kingdom and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the souls and lives of the children of men...' (one of seven reasons for writing the book, from the author's preface).

'Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices' by Thomas Brooks ranks right up there with 'Pilgrim's Progress' in terms of time-honored Puritan classics. This book is a must-read for every Christian, especially those who are struggling or tampering with sin. Satan hates 'Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices' because it exposes his methods. More than that, it offers biblical methods to avoid and overcome temptation. The message and content of 'Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices' are as useful today as they were many ages ago when it was written. The profound depths of insight that Thomas Brooks delivers makes it worthy of reading over and over again. Whether you are downhearted, unsure about the topic of spiritual warfare, or want to successfully battle pride, unbelief, or lust, this book has it all. 'Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices' includes tips on how to uplift and purify the thoughts, and how to fight more fiercely against the sin that so easily taints our hearts and minds. Though written years ago, it is extremely relevant to our time. The remedies are unabashedly from God's written Word and are effective 'treatment' for the issues at hand.

Preach The Word is pleased to offer this excellent book as a free PDF download for you to enjoy.
