What I'm Reading

I've finished The Truth War by John MacArthur. It took a while to finish because it was very deep stuff and it took a lot of thought.

One thing that stood out was the need to learn from history; this has come up in other books as well. There are all sorts of ideas and beliefs floating around and they're often spoken of as being some sort of new revelation, but many of them have been around on and off (and proven false) since the early days of Christianity.

The other thing is to know the truth and to be willing to stand up for it. It's easier to let things slide or simply to keep silent about topics that I know will upset people or lead to confrontation (and accusations of narrow-mindedness or insistance that one view is just as valid as another or whatever refusal to listen technique they throw at me).

Yeah, so go read the book.
