E-Family Series Session #5: What is the 'Age of Accountability' and 'How Can I Know For Sure My Child is Saved?'


Many, many resources were used for tonight's E-family session. Please note below the links to various books, audio messages, and Study Bibles. I am grateful to God for good, godly wisdom and urge you to surround yourself (and your personal library!) with many godly sources to aid you in your walk of faith.


1. Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology. If you do not have this yet, PLEASE get a copy and have it on your shelf at home. It is well worth it. If you are a diligent student of the Word and/or a teacher of the Word on any level, this work will come in handy over and over and over again. FYI: I used this source more than any of the others for tonight's talk.


2. David Michael's audio message from Children Desiring God's 2007 National Conference.

Click here for the entire conference download. The message I listened to for this talk is the sixth message under the conference electives (title: Are They "In The Faith"? Helping Young People to "Test" and "See")


3. Jim Elliff on Family Life today with Dennis Rainey. You can download an entire series on children and salvation by clicking here (via the Between Two Worlds blog) I listened to "Observing Salvation in Your Child: What Does It Look Like?" (number 5 in the series) for the E-family message tonight.


4. The John MacArthur New American Standard Study Bible. Enough said. Great resource to have on your personal shelf. The section in the packet tonight was taken from the first page in the Appendix in the study Bible.


5. A sermon by John Piper on 1 John. Dr. Piper did an overview of this book, providing the 11 tests of salvation from this epistle. Click here and it will take you directly to the message. You can read it, download for audio, or watch him preach the message.


6. Finally Alive by John Piper. Though I did not consult this book for tonight's message, it is an excellent work on the doctrine of regeneration (or "the new birth"). You can also download the entire book on your PC (PDF file) for free by clicking here.
