| A new book by Pastor O'Ffill which is available at Adventist Book Centers everywhere.
Sometimes the devil disguises his disguise. While we expect a roaring lion, he becomes a termite colony. Undermining the home. Infiltrating the church. Hijacking the language and confusing the saints with the fog of theological drift. Today the walls of community, school, church, and family are crumbling, leaving the saints exposed full force to winds of change. How can we resist the enticements of culture, the deflated values, and the subverted standards of our age? Richard O'Ffill identifies the Trojan horses that threaten family and church today. The slavery of debt. The self-esteem movement. Unbelief. The shades-of gray group and the if-it-isn't -broke-then-break-it crowd. The Bible taxidermists who preserve the form but deny the power.
The author suggests antidotes for disturbing trends in the church: too much comfort and too little challenge, lowered expectations and diminished standards. How does behavior related to salvation? Is the church an organization or an organism? Do we need more truth and doctrine, or more gospel and felt needs? What does it mean to be separate from the world and to live to the glory of God?
Forewarned is forearmed. This book will provide insurance against Satan's many schemes to sabotage the faith.
