Letter to a Christian

Book Cover & Preview Text
“Too many of us want the best of both worlds. We want the eternal benefits of being saved without the earthly sacrifice. So we go to church on Sunday, and then return to our “real” lives on Monday.
Regrettably, because we have been so prosperous, at least here in the West, we have become comfortable. We actually believe that we’re getting away with this double-minded, half-hearted approach to following Christ, ignoring or choosing not to understand that there will be a price to pay for our laziness and slothfulness.
We ignore the explicit warnings in Scripture at our own peril.”
And so begins Letter to a Christian. . .

About the Book
Torn apart by disagreements and arguments, we are hated, but not for Christ’s sake. Instead, too often we are despised for our self-righteousness and mocked for our hypocrisy.
Distracted by popular, trendy doctrines masquerading as the revolutionary good news of Jesus Christ we are irrelevant as salt and light. Our churches preach a gospel that soothes but brings no conviction. Filling the pews with tares, we sell the gospel as a self-improvement panacea that requires nothing of the hearer.
We should not be surprised then that so many Christians are immature and easily swayed by the false brilliance of the world. So focused on grasping some imagined earthly success, we prefer enslavement to the world to liberty in Christ.
And so begins Letter To a Christian.
