Worldliness: resisting the seduction of a fallen world

This is a book review of Worldliness: resisting the seduction of a fallen world edited by C.J. Mahaney.

Do want to know how to keep yourself from worldliness? It is a must if you are a Christian, for the love of the world and the love of the Father (God) are polar opposites. You either love God or the world, therefore, your eternity is at stake.

This book helps you identify areas where you may be involved in worldliness which could ultimately lead to you falling away and turning to love this world and depart from the faith. Don't let that happen to you, read this book, and examine your life in prayer.

It excellently examines all areas of life, without getting into legalism, but points to love & devotion to God and the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the only true reason to do anything, including avoiding worldliness.

Book review

I recently finished "Do Hard Things" by the Harris twins (Alex & Brett?). It is written for teens (no such category in the Bible) with a focus on prompting them not to waste their lives by dropping down to the standard of the North American society. Bible expectations are much higher than those of society, and this is brought out by only looking back at recent history.

15 year old girls were considered ready for marriage. 15 year old boys were considered ready for the army. An 11 year old girl started nursing and went on to form the Red Cross....

The book is excellent for young people, parents, pastors and Sunday school teachers, to ensure that we as a Church do not lower the standard/expectations we have on young people, but raise the bar to where they are in God's Word!

Book review

I finished Unity of the Bible by Daniel Fuller a while ago. It is an excellent book that somehow all Christians should read to give them the proper perspective of the whole Bible and how God has always worked by faith (Hebrews 11). This seems to get missed when the reader gets to Exodus 20 to think that a system of works is introduced.

The last few verses of Romans 9 and first few of Romans 10 say that a system of works was NEVER introduced, but those in the flesh turn a system of faith into a system of works.

I would recommend this book to anyone who can get their hands on it.
