Description
Christians used to say, “If something is new, it probably isn’t true; and if something is true, it probably isn’t new.” They believed that the “old” truth in the Bible was the chief test of spiritual wisdom and Christian maturity.
But times have changed. Novelty is now the measure of the Spirit’s leading. Hence we uncritically adopt new methods for church planting and church growth, new views on Creation and other established doctrines, new styles of worship, and new views on music. We also practice new forms of praying and spiritual warfare, embrace new views on marriage, legislate new grounds for divorce and remarriage, push new leadership models on local churches, and agitate for new forms of church organization.
Are the arguments Biblically sound? Should we take a Biblical stand on these contemporary issues? In Here We Stand, some of the church’s most respected thought leaders have addressed these questions in a compelling way.
In the face of popular pressure to adopt the un-Biblical fads of our time, each of the authors of this volume challenges us to reecho Martin Luther’s determined words at the Council of Worms on April 18, 1521″ “Here I stand, I can do no other; may God help me. Amen.”
