Malachi: A Prophet in Times of Despair
Founders Study Guide Commentary
by Baruch Maoz 
FSGC Malachi

Founders Press is pleased to include Malachi: A Prophet in Times of Despair in our Founders Study Guide Commentary series. The Prophet Malachi ministered to a chastened but unrepentant people. As the last book in the Old Testament, this prophecy communicates God's judgment against His own people due to their spiritual formality and apathy. The message is as relevant today as when it was first proclaimed. Baruch Maoz has served the church of Jesus Christ well by explaining and applying this message in warm, practical ways that are faithful to text and to the larger context of the whole Bible.

As a Jewish Reformed Baptist Baruch Maoz pastored the Grace and Truth Congregation in Israel from 1976 until his retirement in 2008. Since that time he has devoted himself to itinerant preaching, teaching and writing. This devotional commentary on Malachi is the fruit of his long, faithful ministry.

Don't miss the opportunity to purchase this book at a special prepub price of $6.00 plus shipping (now through May 15, 2016). Retail price is $9.99.

The Regulative Principle of Worship is a Biblical Doctrine

In my previous article, I argued that the regulative principle of worship is a Baptist doctrine. But any Baptist worth his or her salt will ask the more salient question: But is it a biblical doctrine?

I want to argue that it is in fact a biblical doctrine and give a brief biblical defense from 32,000 feet. As I sought to show last time, Baptist confessions have articulated it and numerous important figures who have roamed the landscape of the Baptist tradition held it in earnest.

Granted, there is not a single text that may be accessed which says, "You shall only use in gathered worship those elements taught by precept or example in Scripture." But if you take the overall witness of Scripture as to how God expects to be worshiped, I believe a strong case may be made.
