I thought it was going to analyze sin in depth and give biblical advice on how to master it. It's pretty superficial though. I'm now reading Macarthur's "Vanishing Conscience" and it is much better and more thorough than this book. ( ) Christians are hypocrites. We espouse high ideals and end up compromising every one of them. Sometimes it's a tendency I fight against, but there are other times I find myself cutting moral corners quite comfortably. Anyway, it's because I'm such a hypocrite that I was intrigued by the title of this book. As it examined the way American Christians try to "serve two masters" and live a "Christian, but not too Christian" life, would it offer insights into some areas where I've been turning a blind eye? Well, yes and no. Mr. Laurie did indeed mention some of my sins, but it was hardly news to me. And unfortunately, even that he didn't do it very well. The whole book is basically a bad sermon--one of those that revolves around a central concept rather than the Word of God. It's one of those that tries to speak authoritatively by tacking a bunch of Bible passages onto its pre-selected subject rather than starting with the text and seeing what concepts spring from that. I also found Mr. Laurie's "preaching" lacking in a) that he read things into Scripture that aren't necessarily there and b) he focuses too much on how we Christians need to do better at not compromising our beliefs while not mentioning that Jesus died for these sins as well. Ah, well. Even if it didn't offer any new insights, I do need to be reminded of the old ones now and then. --J. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
These are just a few of the countless strong messages flashed before Christians daily. We want to live effective Christian lives-yet the lure of life on the edge is still there. Temptation. Idolatry. Immorality. Adultery. Our minds are repeatedly assaulted with hundreds of ways to take a little off here, a little off there...until biblical truth and values are completely eroded. With each small step, each subtle compromise, we're drawn further from Christ and closer to the abyss of spiritual failure. There is that last little push-that one last compromise-The Great Compromise...the one we can't pull out of. Is there hope? Is there help? Greg Laurie says, "Yes!" In The Great Compromise, he exposes Satan's favorite ploys to pull Christians away from their faith and explains how each of us can take measures to avoid common pitfalls. This encouraging message for today also offers a way back for those who have found themselves ensnared. "Once you understand how compromise works," says the author, "it will change your spiritual life!" Book jacket. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
