Product Description
by B. L. W (Author)
In today's pluralistic and global society, many Christians are losing touch with what it means to believe and follow Jesus. What does it mean to be a follower of Christ? How do we live out our faith in love while still holding true to the teachings of the Bible? In Back to Basics: Beware of the Dog; the author addresses these and other questions in a clear and engaging manner. The book presents four cornerstones of the Christian faith: Jesus is the focus of our faith. Love is our goal. The Bible is our compass. The Gospel is our message. Before diving into these foundations of faith, the author also provides an important warning against the danger of individuals-and the church -departing from these fundamentals of Christian faith. The book then walks through these four statements of faith and discusses how these beliefs overflow into outward expressions of Christian life. In the end, BLW shows that it is not doctrine that fills our souls with joy and peace, but knowing Jesus and having an intimate relationship with Him. With solid theology and practical application, Back to Basics shows that only truly knowing Jesus and serving Him with all our heart; can keep us on the narrow path of everlasting life. "Turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart; and turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people. . . . Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed." 1 Samuel 12:20b-22, 24 (KJV)
