How hard is it to Reform people? This is obviously the work of God. But how hard is it to take the people of God toward biblical Reformation? The answer is that there are many difficulties to hurdle, but there are encouragements to doing this for the glory of God. Burgess, a master exegete, teaches from Mark 1:2-3, “As it is written in the Prophets, Behold I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make thy paths straight.” He answers questions like, Are we reformed enough? Is God content for us to be sanctified just enough? What can church members and pastors do to promote true biblical reform in their congregations? This second edition is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

"In this sermon, Burgess begins by asserting and defending the proposition that the Scriptures are the only rule in matters of religion and reformation. He then compares this Protestant principle to that of the Papists and clarifies what the call for sola scriptura really means. Afterward, Burgess gives a discussion of the breadth of its application to matters of faith and dismisses numerous substitutes for Scripture. He also encourages ministers to preach, catechize and gain a knowledge of the original tongues in which Scripture was written for more effective reformation. Then, after warning of the things which hinder Christ's reign in His church, Burgess presses why the reformation must continue in the church with instructs for heart preparation. ... [In the scond sermon, he] presses the claims of reformation upon the magistrates. To this end, he counsels them to be careful in their families and every department of their lives, private and public. After, he sets forth many reasons for the magistrates to embrace the claims of true religion experimentally. Burgess assumes that magistrates have a part in maintaining the true religion in their realms and he commands them to set of faithful and learned ministers in all parts of the kingdom."--Publisher description.

The Scriptures advise us to learn from examples of faithful ministers (Heb. 13:7). The Puritans were a group of such ministers whose teaching and living can be particularly encouraging to troubled and discouraged pastors today. They were steadfast in adhering to Scripture as the Word of God, in confessing the great truths of the Reformed faith, and in applying sound doctrine to the problems of life in an age and culture nearly as challenging as our own. In Encouragement for Today's Pastors, Joel R. Beeke and Terry D. Slachter examine the writings of these pastors of a bygone era consider how they can help struggling pastors today. Here pastors will find a helping hand, reminding them of the importance of cultivating personal piety, resting in God's sovereignty recovering clarity in their calling, discovering means of support God provided, recognizing the dignity of their office, and taking comfort in grace and glory to come.
