Summary: This is a book for "thinking" Christians
Review: Wouldn't it be amazing if we as 21st century Christians truly understood the changing culture we live in and knew how we, as godly people, ought to react and relate to it? Social change is viewed by most Christians as a threat, rather than a fresh level of opportunity to impact our culture for Christ.In his book, "Christian Liberty," Dr. Rex Rogers offers nine principles for developing a God-honoring life in rapidly changing times. Writing for "thinking" Christians, Rogers reminds us that God created both faith and reason, and that biblical Christianity is a logical faith. Stating that Christian liberty may be the least understood and least practiced doctrine in the Bible, Rogers suggests that it should be "a distinctive component of a fully developed Christian worldview," and that "Spiritual discernment is the link between knowledge of the Word of God and the application of this knowledge to our cultural experience." I agree with Rogers when he suggests that many of us grew up in churches where we were expected to adhere to a set of extra-biblical rules or traditions and to occasionally "turn off our minds and toe the line," when in actuality, God created both faith and reason, and He expects us to make use of our minds regarding how we exercise our faith. Pick up a copy of "Christian Liberty" and be challenged to develop your own biblical, Christian worldview, and then dare to live out your faith in a manner that influences others for Christ.
