I am either reading through at present or have recently completed reading the following books.
- The Battle for the Beginning by John MacArthur
The following is a quote from the introduction: Scripture, not science, is the ultimate test of all truth. And the further evangelicalism gets from that conviction, the less evangelical and more humanistic it becomes.
John continues on the back cover: Everything in Scripture that teaches about sin and redemption assumes the literal truth of the first three chapters of Genesis. If we wobble to any degree on the truth of this passage, we undermine the very foundations of our faith.
This is a book to keep close in a hostile world. It is a book for reference and for reading over and over again.
- Discovering the Joy of a Clear Conscience by Christopher Ash
This book answers many questions about conscience. Should we ever violate our conscience? What if it has been calibrated to the wrong standard? Should our conscience always be our guide? What is the function of our conscience? What does it do? How do we retrain our conscience? To what should the Christian conscience be calibrated? What to do when our conscience condemns us? What does the Apostle Paul mean when he refers to a conscience void of offense?
It is one thing to die with a clear conscience. It is quite another thing to live with a clear conscience.
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24:16
- Called to Lead by John MacArthur
Twenty-six leadership lessons from the life of the Apostle Paul.
Is it enough to just declare oneself to be the leader? How does one lead from the back of the line or from the bottom of the ladder? Following Paul’s example, a Christian can lead from just about anywhere God puts him.
