PART 6 What does it really mean to “stand firm in the true grace of God”? In this inspiring and richly biblical study, Brian Johnston takes readers on a journey through the Apostle Peter’s first letter—unpacking what Peter himself declared as his purpose in writing: “This is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!” (1 Peter 5:12). With warmth and clarity, Brian explores five key facets of God’s grace revealed in 1 Peter: Grace in Salvation – God’s sovereign mercy in choosing, redeeming, and giving us new life through Christ. Grace in Service – The privilege of being built into God’s spiritual house and priesthood. Grace in Sanctification – Living set apart for God amid testing and opposition. Grace in Suffering – Learning to endure trials with faith and hope. Grace in Subjection – Humility and dependence in leadership and daily life. Drawing on Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, he emphasizes that salvation is entirely of God’s doing—grace from start to finish. This book will strengthen believers to remain steadfast, worshipful, and grounded in the unchanging grace of God. “After you have suffered a little while… the God of all grace… will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” — 1 Peter 5:10

Where Do Our Western Values Come From? Part 8 In recent decades in the western world we’ve seen a retreat away from Christian beliefs. But what if the prized values of ‘the west’ could be shown to be fundamentally Christian values? What if the western world has retreated away from Christian beliefs, but without leaving behind its Christian values? What if those things we refer to as ‘human rights’ have been left behind by the retreating tide of Christianity? If that’s true, it would surely prove to be a confidence-builder for those espousing Christianity. They’d be able to ‘own’ the core values of society as being Christian values, and so be aware of – and even be able to celebrate – the historic achievements of Christianity in its broadest terms. Drawing on the writings of Tom Holland and Glen Scrivener, in this short book Brian shows that this is indeed the case.
