In
a world that seems to be fast spinning out of control, we unfortunately see some
churches and people who believe they are Christians that seem to have no
moorings to which they are anchored. We
live in perilous times, especially for churches that do not hold fast and firm to
the foundational truths taught in Scripture.
Pastor Erwin Lutzer has written a new book and
study guide, The Church in Babylon. Its
message is timely and will hopefully spark a study in God’s Word that will
encourage believes to know what God says and choose to live in light of truth found
in Scripture.
Topics
include Finding God in Enemy Territory, Keeping the Faith in a Hostile Work Environment,
Courage to Confront a Deadly Enemy, Calling out the Lies of the Culture, and
Prayerless Pulpits, Satisfied Saints and Spiritual Blindness.
The Church in Babylon is thought provoking. The study guide includes some good questions
for people to examine their knowledge of Scripture and compare it secular
culture’s views. I appreciate that
Pastor Lutzer is uncompromising to the truth that God gave us in the Bible and
that he reinforces his arguments with Scripture. More and more the church will face pressure and disapproval from a culture that is guided by feelings, not facts. Pastor
Lutzer doesn’t shy away from controversial topics that are affecting our culture
and making their way into our churches.
Until
I started reading the book, I didn’t realize it was just the study guide for The Church
in Babylon. Even as study guide,
it was very good. I’m sure I would like the
book even more.
I
recommend Erwin Lutzer’s new book
and study guide, The Church in Babylon. I
would like to thank Moody Publishers
and NetGalley for the opportunity to
read The
Church in Babylon Study Guide in exchange for an honest review. I was under no obligation to give a favorable
review.
The
Church in Babylon by Erwin Lutzer will be published August 7, 2018.
