Respectable Sins:
Confronting the Sins We Tolerate
By Jerry Bridges
Led by Randy McIlhaney
Location: R-5
Book Cost: $10
As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered
equal in God's eyes. Yet we continue to decry the Big Ones--such as abortion, adultery, and violence--and often overlook more deceptive sins. It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably exist within the church. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.
Just as culture has lost the concept of sin, the church faces the same danger. Drawing from scriptural truth, author Jerry Bridges sheds light on subtle behaviors that can derail our spiritual growth. Throughout the pages of this book readers are encouraged to be victorious over personal sin through the gospel's transforming power. |
