Walking the Walk, Not Just Talking the Talk
When I was growing up, my world seemed pretty simple. At school and as a young man being religious meant being a Christian. I didn't know many Jews, Muslims, Hindus, or Buddhists. I didn't really even know anything about them. Today things are different, even if we don't always notice it, mosques, synagogues, and temples are everywhere. As for churches you’ll find Anglican, Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Evangelical, Presbyterian, Methodist, and many other traditions.
In addition, it's not uncommon to hear people say, I'm not religious, but I am spiritual. People who talk like that tend to be theologically eclectic. They’re concerned that such entities as above, whether big or small, Christian or not, might put boundaries on their ability to pick and choose what they believe and practice. So with all of this religious and spiritual diversity, what does it mean to be a Christian? What are the biblical beliefs we need to focus on to stay true to God? What are the basic Christian truths we need to hold on to and understand to shine out as a light for Christ in an ever more secular world and one full of "alternative" religion and spirituality?
Rock Solid aims to help us get to grips with twelve great truths that form the core of what it means to be a Christian in today's modern society and how to apply those same truths.With great contributions from the likes of Vaughan Roberts, Trevor Archer, Roger Carswell and Christopher Ash this book looks at why these doctrines and truths are so important today and how they help us shape our faith.
Each chapter focuses on one of these truths and includes a short study and discussion questions aimed at stimulating our thinking and encouraging action in each one of us.
