Stand Firm; Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong

A good book that handles Controversial Issues

This book compares secular thinking vs. Biblical thinking. This book will help to give you the answers so you can stand firm in the faith and defend a Christian position on cultural and political issues of our day.

It aims to apply the scriptures to everyday situations and concerns that Christians face in their lives and questions and issues you may encounter and want to have a biblical response for. It is written by a variety of authors.



Some chapter titles and topics covered in the Content are:
Christian Liberty and Entertainment
Video Games - A biblical worldview
Parental Guidance - Making wise media choices
America Idols - Entertainment, Escapism and the Cult of Celebrity

Issues Relating to Divorce and Remarriage
Abortion, Birth Control and Ministry
Hope, Holiness, and Homosexuality
Euthanasia, Suicide, and Capital Punishment
God, Government and the Gospel
Sorrow, suffering and the Sovereignty of God
Why Christians can trust God


These are just a few of the issues covered. There is a scriptural topical reference guide in the back of the book. The writing is clear and helpful. There was some startling statistics on video games and the economy of the industry, the effects it is having on youths and young adults in our culture, and how it effects their maturity, reality, and purity. This is a book with solid biblical answers for the most talked about trends and issues of our day.

Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong 

 
 

Respectable Sins

Thoughtful reading and humbling
Our efforts to mature outside of the word of God is hopeless, but if we comment to the reading and studying of Scripture and have turned our lives over to Christ, the Holy Spirit will renew our minds, (Romans 12:1, 2) and will lead us, and correct us, and will direct us into all truth.

Jerry Bridges formerly vice president for corporate affairs of The Navigators is now a staff member in the Bible teaching ministry and has served on the Navigators staff since 1955. He is the author of many Christian books.
