Klappentext SEVEN OUTRAGEOUS TRUTHS YOU CAN STILL BELIEVE . . . AND WHY ·"Every other religion is wrong. ·"God sends good people to Hell. ·"Homosexuality is a perversion. ·"Evolution is a myth. ·"God is ultimately responsible for suffering in the world. ·"Husbands are to lead their families. ·"America is a Christian nation. In Hell? Yes! Dr. Robert Jeffress issues a bold wakeup call to all believers-from college students to grandparents-to stop apologizing for and start proclaiming the tough but essential truths that Christians have historically embraced. And he provides the finest biblical! scientific! and historical evidence needed to defend these core beliefs in a culture turned hostile to God's truth. Dr. Jeffress believes the secular spirit of political correctness is holding the church hostage. And the tragic result is that the revolutionary! life-changing! positive message of the Christian faith is being watered down. If you are weary of a Christianity that waffles and wavers about controversial issues-if you are ready to stand up and compassionately yet forcefully and intelligently say! "This is what I believe and here's why-then this book is for you! Wimp-Free Christianity Truth is abhorred by the masses, cautioned the seventeenth-century Jesuit priest Baltasar Gracian. If you don't accept that observation, try making any one of the following comments around the break room at work, or even in the Sunday-school room at church: • Only Christians will go to heaven; everyone else is going to hell. • The husband is the head of the family. • Homosexuality is a perversion. Then just sit back and watch the fireworks explode! You'll most likely hear the terms intolerant, bigot, uneducated, and arrogant hurled at you (and those are just some of the nicer words you can expect). By the way, don't be surprised if you hear such harsh judgments coming just as frequently and forcefully from the lips of Christians as from non-Christians. In increasing numbers believers are either abandoning or holding much less tightly to the truths that have been historically embraced by Christians. Such a charge certainly demands support, so let me offer some from both personal experience and statistical evidence. First, my story. Big Stink in a Small Town I pastor a large church in a medium-size town two hours away from Dallas, Texas. Situated right in the middle of the Bible Belt, our church has been described by Christianity Today as the new Mecca of evangelical Christianity. A few years ago a member of our church brought me copies of two children's books from our local library: Daddy's Roommate and Heather Has Two Mommies. Both books tell the story of a child being raised by a homosexual couple. In Daddy's Roommate, a young boy's parents divorce so that Daddy can live with his homosexual lover, Frank. The little boy is understandably perplexed by the relationship and asks his mother about his father's new friend. The mother gently explains that being gay is just one more kind of love and that Daddy and his roommate are very happy together.1 When the little boy asks what Daddy and Frank do, Mom explains that Daddy and Frank live together, eat together, and sleep together. Each activity the mother explains is accompanied by a drawing, including one showing Daddy and Fra...
