    The Righteousness of God: God’s Wrath and Man’s Need

    January 22, 2020
    Bible Study, The Shepherd’s Voice

    God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day (Ps. 7:11). For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth (Rom. 1:18). None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All…

That You May Know offers clear, Scripture-centered insight into one of the most crucial questions believers face: how we can know and live in the assurance of our salvation. Grounded in biblical truth and written with pastoral clarity, this concise commentary walks readers through the nature of salvation, the New Covenant, and the believer’s secure hope in Christ. The second edition features updated formatting for easier reading and new questions for reflection and study—making it ideal for both personal devotion and group discussion. Whether you’re exploring the foundations of faith or deepening your understanding of God’s saving work, this book will help you grow in confidence that you truly belong to Him.

Are you tired of a gospel that feels like just another set of rules to follow? In No Other Gospel, author Michael Floyd challenges the modern church to examine whether it has unwittingly embraced an “other gospel”—one that subtly shifts the focus from radical faith in Christ alone to a reliance on works and self-effort for God’s blessings.

Drawing from his own journey of wrestling with the true meaning of the gospel, Floyd unpacks the crucial difference between living under the realm of law with its blessings and curses, and the realm of faith, which is rooted in the character of God and submitted to His will.

Discover that the purpose of faith is not simply to attain a better life, but to glorify God and enjoy Him forever through a transformative relationship. This book is a call to lay aside the “filthy rags” of self-righteousness and embrace the new identity offered in the New Covenant—an identity empowered by the Spirit to live out of who we are in Christ, rather than striving to earn His favor. No Other Gospel challenges you to:

  • Understand the subtle ways the “other gospel” can creep into our lives and churches.
  • Grasp the liberating truth of living by the Spirit and not under the law.
  • Embrace the radical call to complete dependence on Christ for transformation.
  • See the church as a Spirit-led community defined by its devotion to making disciples.

This 10th Anniversary Edition, with updated language and formatting, is a powerful reminder that true freedom and growth come not from adhering to external standards, but from an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ and the life He has called us to.

The Gospel of John, more than any other, contains the central message of the Gospel. In it are found answers to questions such as, “What does it mean to believe? What is the new birth? How can I be saved?” This commentary takes a close look at the context and teachings of John’s testament of his time with Jesus. Written by an ordinary Christian, That You May Believe (and all of Today’s Disciple Commentaries) is designed to appeal to the everyday reader with little to no knowledge of the Bible or the original languages in which it was written. At the end is a handy study guide, with questions designed to help you think more deeply about John’s gospel and apply its many teachings to your life.

From the Back Cover: “Didn’t Jesus come to give us abundant life? Is this all there is?”

The question is asked often by sincere believers on their journey with Christ. It seems that life has become one series of chores after another, with no real joy, only moments of fleeting happiness. In Keys to the Kingdom, we take a journey toward change. Jesus did indeed promise abundant life to those who walk with Him. We’ll examine three basic questions: * Why do we seek change? * What is biblical change? * How do we change?

We are called to love God and love others, and this journey of change will move us toward that goal, as we become like Christ.

What if the abundant life promised by Christ isn’t about earthly success but something far greater?

In From Blessed to Transformed, Michael Floyd takes readers on a journey beyond the widely embraced but ultimately fleeting promises of the so-called “Blessed Life.” With clarity and conviction, he challenges the modern church’s fixation on material prosperity and personal comfort, calling believers back to the deeper, transformative power of the gospel.

This book isn’t just a critique—it’s an invitation. An invitation to embrace a faith that endures suffering, a hope that is unshakable, and a joy that transcends circumstances. Whether you are questioning what it means to truly follow Christ or seeking a faith that can weather life’s storms, From Blessed to Transformed will challenge, convict, and inspire.

Step beyond the temporary and into the eternal. The journey awaits.

The Modern Corinth

CHURCH IS MESSY. Jesus loves the church. It is not only His plan A – there is no plan B. But when believers from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives come together, challenges inevitably arise: * Divisions around preferred leaders * Sexual sin * Legal disputes * Conflict over non-essential but deeply held convictions * Marriage and the roles of men and women * Fellowship and communion * Spiritual gifts * Worship styles

Is there a common element to these challenges? If so, what is the answer? In The Modern Corinth, author Michael Floyd examines the American church through the lens of the problems faced by the church in 1 Corinthians. His central thesis – that all of these challenges were based in following worldly wisdom rather than holding fast to Scripture and the fundamentals of the gospel – provides a framework for examining the church in America and our own churches. Learn how godly wisdom and a focus on the Gospel can correct the errors of worldly wisdom in the modern American church – for her good and for His glory.
