{"product_id":"the-great-mystery-of-gods-c-matthew-mcmahon-9781626634176","title":"The Great Mystery of God's Providence and Other Works","description":"This particular work by contains six pieces now updated into current modern print. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first work is worth the cost of the volume itself. It is his treatise on The Great Mystery of God's Providence, on Genesis 45:8, concerning the historical narrative of Joseph coming to power in Egypt by God's providence. He particularly deals with the question, \"To what degree does the holy and righteous God make use of the evil actions of wicked men and devils, without any impeachment of his righteousness and holiness?\" This is a wonderful and masterful treatise that will expand your view of the great mystery of God's providence in the world, not only in Joseph's time, but throughout all of redemptive history, including our own time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his second piece, he covers James 2:26, \"...so faith without works is dead,\" while comparing both Paul's use of justification by faith, and James' use of justification by works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his third sermon on James 3, he covers the manner in which the Christian's speech ought to glorify God, and how, very often, that it does not. This is especially proven out by dealing with Christians in the church, where out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his fourth piece, he demonstrates the need and virtue of true fortitude to the glory of God. In this, he considers the strength and vigor of the Christian in all they do in zeal for the glory of Christ. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his fifth piece on Psalm 133:1 he covers the need and commendation of unity in the church, the unity of the Spirit, in the bond of peace, as set down by David in the Psalm, and echoed in Ephesians by Paul. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis final piece is an explanation of the parable of the sower from Matt. 13:1-9, teaching that in the innumerable multitude that came to hear Christ's heavenly doctrine, the Savior shows that out of this great number of people that were so zealous and traveled so far, there were three groups out of four that did not profit by his teaching and were therefore still creatures under damnation. Only one group of the four were true hearers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e C.
