Who are you to Judge?


Christianbook.com
 Who are you to Judge? - Erwin Lutzer

This is a book about Discernment. It is every Christian’s responsibility to discern truth from error. Hebrews 5:14 tells us that we must have our senses trained to discern good and evil. It is common in some churches today that doctrine is seen as an enemy of ’unity’. But is this really the truth?

Today, Truth has become subjective and disconnected from Facts, so in matters of religion and morality, truth becomes; whatever a person says it is. Evil is denied and truth is whatever happens to work, this reflects the relativism of our day. The Christian should be concerned with what God has already revealed in His word, not with our preferences or popular opinion. Our responsibility as members of the church is to distinguish biblical Christianity apart from counterfeit spirituality and the world’s values.

Erwin Lutzer covers the most well-known verses on Judging that are mistakenly use wrongly. Christian doctrines today are seen as too divisive, too narrow, and not nice enough. A good knowledge of biblical doctrine is what helps us determine not only truth from error, but also how to determine false teachings. This book is helpful and valuable, and will build you up in the truth.

Erwin Lutzer has been Senior Pastor of the Moody Church in Chicago for 29 years. He is also a featured speaker on Moody Broadcast Network daily radio broadcast, “Running to Win” and is the author of many Christian books.

The Truth About Tolerance


The Truth about Tolerance - Brad Stetson and Joseph G. Conti


What this book offers is a comprehensive evaluation of tolerance in our society and then gives a Christian view how truth and tolerance is determined from a biblical perspective. The authors survey the social and political characteristics of tolerance, and then give the reader the biblical definition with practical ways for the Christian to apply genuine tolerance.

These authors examine pluralism and secular liberalism’s affect on the Christian and on the Church as a whole. They get to the root source of popular culture’s definition of tolerance and unity and help the reader understand the importance of the issues at stake.
