Mat 16:24-26 ESV - Hard to Believe (book excerpt)

I especially like the quote in purple.

Mat 16:24-26 ESV
(24) Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
(25) For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
(26) For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life?

Excerpt from Hard To Believe by John MacArthur:
Christianity, in the hands of some seeker-sensitive church leaders, has become a "get what you want" rather than a "give up everything" movement. These leaders have prostituted the divine intention of the gospel. They have replaced the glory of God with the satisfaction of man. They have traded the concept of abandoning our lives to the honor of Christ for Christ honoring us. As such, our submission to His will is replaced by His submission to our will. Since people usually reject the real gospel, modern evangelicals have simply changed the message.

A Saint of many centuries ago got it right with this prayer: Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly, let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to posses everyting, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive. Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley, thy life in my death.

Thy life in my death"? That's the true gospel. Jesus said it unmistakably and inescapably, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." (Matt. 16:24-25). It's not about exalting me, it's about slaying me. It's the death of self. You win by losing, you live by dying. And that is the heart message of the gospel. That is the essence of discipleship.

________________________

Pray with me.... Saviour Jesus, may you give me the courage to face my sinfulness and repent (turn from my sin) of my sin. To follow you no matter how hard it is. To live a life that has at it's core; being conformed to the likeness of You. Lord, may we understand that following hard after you does mean trusting you by your grace to help us do what you want in every aspect of your lives. Thank You for coming to earth as a baby and dying to pay the debt we owed for the sins we have committed.

Amen

Book Review: Christianity In Crisis

I highly recommend this book: ~Reed Nelson
Publisher's Commentary: Christianity in Crisis is a landmark book that desperately needed to be written—a book that confronts head-on a deadly cancer that is ravaging the body of Christ. Unless this cancer is halted now, the consequences for Christianity will be catastrophic.

And “catastrophic” is not exaggeration. Influential teachers are utilizing the power of airwaves as well as scores of books, tapes, and magazines to distort the biblical concept of the Creator and promote antibiblical doctrines that boggle the mind. The result is nothing less than a systematic subversion of the historic Christian faith.

Yet this is a cancer which has a cure. Christianity In Crisis not only exposes darkness to light, but provides solutions for averting the crisis in Christianity and restoring a Christianity centered in Christ.

A Review by J.W. Moore:

Hanegraaff writes,

We must shift from perceiving God as a means to an end to recognizing that He is the end. We must shift from a theology based on temporary perspectives to one based on eternal perspectives.

Within this quote the author succinctly captures the focus of the “faith movement” aka “Word of Faith” (WOF) movement, and it is a devastatingly clear and precise summary of the error that is driving a growing segment of American Christianity.

Chrisitanity In Crisis is a detailed and thoroughly documented analysis and refutation of the error and teachings of the most visible faith movement proponents: Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Paul and Jan Crouch (TBN), Marilyn Hickey, Fredrick K. C. Price, Paul Yonggi Cho, Morris Cerullo, E. W. Kenyon, Katherin Kuhlman, Robert Tilton, and Benny Hinn. In consideration that some of these WOF leaders are also prolific and popular authors, it is not surprizing that many Christian bookstores refused to stock Chrisitanity In Crisis (in my local Christian book store, there are more titles for WOF teachings than there are apologetics and theology texts). It should also be noted that one technique WOF teachers use to keep their followers confused and loyal is deliberate misrepresentation of quotes from their critics; as such, this reviewer also highly recommends the supplemental purchase of the audiocassettes of Chrisitanity In Crisis: no one can argue or formulate a successful apologetic in defense of the blasphemies of these faith teachers when you hear them in action. The audiocassettes alone are a tremendous help if you are trying to help someone trapped by WOF’s heresies so that they may experience the full joy of John 8:36...“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

It cannot be said that Hank Hanegraaff does not thoroughly document his research. In Christianity In Crisis he provides 40 pages of chapter footnotes to validate his observations and conclusions. Moreover, he provides seventeen pages of bibliographic references that would direct the reader to further validation from other researchers. Also included is are extensive Scripture and Subject indexes.

Finally, the author provides two additional special features that add to the value of this text:

1. an Epilogue in which Hanegraaff provides a concise ministry background for most of the leaders in the “faith movement;” and,
2. an essay in Appendix A, Are God’s Anointed beyond Criticism? in which the author issues a strong call for biblical accountability within the body of Christ.

In conclusion, this work respresents one of the most comprehensive evaluations of the techniques, tactics, and people of the modern “faith movement.” It is a valuable reference to accompany John MacArthur’s Charismatic Chaos (Zondervan, 1992)

NETBible at Bible.org

http://www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm

• The NET Bible

  The NET Bible is a completely new translation of the Bible with 60,932 translators’ notes! It was completed by more than 25 scholars – experts in the original biblical languages – who worked directly from the best currently available Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. Turn the pages and see the breadth of the translators’ notes, documenting their decisions and choices as they worked. The translators’ notes make the original languages far more accessible, allowing you to look over the translator’s shoulder at the very process of translation. This level of documentation is a first for a Bible translation, making transparent the textual basis and the rationale for key renderings (including major interpretive options and alternative translations). This unparalleled level of detail helps connect people to the Bible in the original languages in a way never before possible without years of study of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It unlocks the riches of the Bible’s truth from entirely new perspectives.

Free Bible Software - Scripture Analyzer

This Bible software is an amazing interlinear Greek/Hebrew English Bible. It can be accessed through the program or in PDF Format. I highly recommend this resource to you.
