Confronting Casual Christianity
Available1 copy in collection
CONFRONTING CASUAL CHRISTIANITY is a call to total commitment to following Christ. What would you say is the greatest enemy of the Christian faith? Many of us would point to society's influences that diminish the role of God in our lives, or to a decline in values. But Charles Stanley argues that our most dangerous threat doesn't come from outside the faith at all. Instead, he believes that complacency and apathy in the hearts of believers is depleting "the vitality of the body of Christ." So what can we do to change that? What can we do to put ourselves and our church communities in touch with the risen Lord? According to Stanley, we need to commit ourselves wholly to Christ. As he explains it, "Commitment means that a person has deliberately, willfully chosen to give, the abandon his/her spirit, soul, and body to Almighty God through His Son Jesus Christ to the glory of God." Using the examples of Moses, Abraham and other figures, Stanley shows how obedience and a true commitment to God can turn apathy to peace and complacency to joy. Stanley's impassioned words will inspire you to commit to making Christ the Lord of your life.
