Christianity Inside

This book is a serious calling out of the “liberal cristian” preaching,a feel good message, rather than the world is going to hell and they are coddling the masses into going along for the ride. Liberals must remember to preach Christ crucified, or not at all. draws a hard line. Good book.

Sorry, but I couldn’t read the whole thing. I know where Horton is coming from because Christians who constantly seek the Lord are already there. Please don’t write so much, you alienate your readers, and that’s not very loving. But I just said that in view of nonChristians, which also isn’t very loving. Sorry, folks. However, megachurches certainly do have God’s love in Christ, but unfortunately, they sacrifice so much of what the Bible actually says. Case in point: “The Message.” If you’re doing it by faith and love, that’s great – far better than liturgical “lip service” – but unfortunately there is so much appeasement and feelings-based conversation, that Christians who try to do MORE of what the Bible says, e.g., read the NIV, are subject to the same treatment that the world gives. “He who does not gather with me scatters.” Gathering into the same building isn’t what He’s talking about. We all know that not everyone who goes to church goes to Heaven. He’s talking about gathering us unto Himself (unto means to, approaching). You’re gathering, but much like the feminist wife who only half-heartedly helps her husband with the parts she agrees with. Thank you for sharing Christ’s love, you’re doing the easy part really well. But your Daddy’s – and son’s – church is the same as your great-great-great-great-great-granddaddy’s church, filled with the same Lord over us all. Not the least stroke of a pen will be erased. And when you’re brought to your knees (probably because your neighborhood is becoming little Mexico (NO, they don’t want to be part of our family (I speak Spanish and I love my Latino brothers and neighbors))), then come back home, and we’ll explain to you what feminism, liberalism, postmodernism, and observationalism mean and why they’re bad. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The music is awesome by the way, just not during the prayers. (tambourines, harp and lyre! (and low brass, rhythm section, and keyboards!)) I’m glad we agree that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!

From listening to Horton on The White Horse Inn radio program, I can share many of the same view points that he provides concerning the decline of the focus of Christinity in America today. The book can be a little deep in terminology for the average reader but very insightful. Horton is one of the few voices out there right now standing up for the true message of Christ and The Gospel. The Christless Christinity we see today is one more sign (I Believe) that we are in the end times. Paul’s messages to Timothy detail what the world will be like and even though Dr. Horton only emphasizes America as being this problem, he does explain that missionaries all over the world are spreading this false representation. America will fall because of it’s own greed, laziness and glutony and it’s attraction to the new feel good gospel is no different.

The book is great but it is heavy in Christian Theology terminology. Looking beyond that, Horton breaks down every aspect of this new emergent gospel. A definite book to read for all non-casual Christians that see the forest from the trees in today’s world. As we all should remember though, James tells us Faith without works is dead. We can write and agree all we want but if we don’t take action to bring the message to those who need it, the message is worth the paper it’s printed on !

5 stars !
