More about the book:

Four Letter Words is a great resource for youth and adults who are looking to answer the question, “What do I do when my faith collides with my culture?”

Thou shalt tolerate every opinion… except the Christian’s. Today’s postmodern “prime directive” leaves many followers of Jesus tongue-tied. In the global village, isn’t it unreasonable—and even dangerous—to suggest that the Bible has a monopoly on truth?

The church needs a new breed of Christ-follower. We need Christ-followers who are alert to today’s touchy ideas—the truths that fire up more heat than light. We need Christ-followers who can make a clear case for the Bible’s worldview; who are ready to help our friends think through their beliefs; who can recognize inconsistencies and challenge them; and who can do all of this with humility, confidence, humor, and love.

Bible Promises… for all situations

Posted by on Sep 19, 2011 in FLW | 0 comments

God is not surprised when we hit tough times. He knew from eternity past, and he provided everything we need. One way we unlock his provision is through Bible promises. Here’s a link to download a printable, 4 page .pdf of Bible Promises for a whole bunch of different situations.

Feel free to share it with your friends. I hope you’re encouraged.

By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:4, NKJV).

Here’s the mother ship of Bible Promises: All the Promises of the Bible, by Herbert Lockyer (from 1962).

Jesus on What is TRUE

Posted by on Sep 4, 2011 in FLW | 0 comments

Jesus had definite opinions about truth and reality. Here is a list of places in the Bible where Jesus spoke on these things, broken down by category. (All Scripture quotations taken from the NKJV).

Jesus on Scripture or the Word of God:

  • Mt 4:4* But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
  • Mt 13:19* “When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20* “But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21* “yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22* “Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23* “But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
  • Mt 15:6* ‘then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

Four Letter Words

If many of our friends had their way, Christ’s followers would be walking around with a bar of soap stuck in their mouths. When a graduation prayer becomes a federal case, and major department stores censor a festive “Merry Christmas,” you might suspect new standards for verbal vulgarity.

 

The core beliefs of the Christian faith have become today’s four letter words. Annoyed by the Christ-follower’s “narrow-mindedness,” our politically correct culture enforces a highly selective tolerance: fist-bumping any philosophical fad and moral deviation as long as it’s not in harmony with Grandma’s leather Bible.

 

Endorsing her old-fashioned religion might get you sent to your room without any supper…

Thou shalt tolerate every opinion… except the Christian’s. Today’s postmodern “prime directive” leaves many followers of Jesus tongue-tied. In the global village, isn’t it unreasonable—and even dangerous—to suggest that the Bible has a monopoly on truth?

The church needs a new breed of Christ-follower. We need Christ-followers who are alert to today’s touchy ideas—the truths that fire up more heat than light. We need Christ-followers who can make a clear case for the Bible’s worldview; who are ready to help our friends think through their beliefs; who can recognize inconsistencies and challenge them; and who can do all of this with humility, confidence, humor, and love.

What if the only reason Christ’s message offends is that it wounds our misplaced pride in ourselves?

And what if it’s exactly that wound that launches our quest for healing?

No religion has ever offered as plausible or beautiful a worldview as historic, biblical Christianity. Let’s say so.

Four Letter Words shows how.
