I just received John MacArthur’s new book titled
The Truth War, Fighting for Certainty in an Age of
Deception. I have only read the introduction and
the first chapter but can pretty much state he is
right on the money.
Here are a few noteworthy statements in the introduction.
“According to Scripture, the ages-old conflict over the truth is spiritual ware-fare a cosmic battle between God and the powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). And one of our enemies favorite tactics is to disguise themselves as angels of light and infiltrate the community of believers (2 Corinthians 11:!3-15). This is nothing new either, but I’m convinced it has become a very serious problem in the current generation. Unfortunately, precious few Christians seem willing to take the threat seriously. The church has grown lazy, worldly and self satisfied. Church leaders are obsessed with style and methodology, losing interest in the glory of God and becoming grossly apathetic about truth and sound doctrine. For the moment at least, the battle appears to be turning in the the enemy’s favor.”
Truth today is under attack. How do we defend truth? We dive deeper into God’s word which is complete truth. It is the voice of God that gives us direction and to know truth.
When I finish check back and I will give a final review on it.
Here is a link for further information on it. Oh and it’s only $10!
