Description

Within the pages of this insightful book, Douglas Wilson offers a practical and pastorally driven guide, addressing the myriad challenges encountered in conservative Christian churches. His essays delve into a wide array of topics, from the nature of legalism and the dynamics of church authority to discussions about worship music, financial debt, the role of youth ministry, and the character of pastors.

In the words of the author, "Modern evangelicals have gained money, power, and influence, and it has been like giving whiskey to a two-year-old." Wilson passionately argues that the need of the hour is not more political influence but a return to sound theology. The true battleground is not the legislative chamber but the pulpit and the table. Before Christians can effectively proclaim Christ's lordship to the world, they must first live as if they truly believe it within the Church.

This book serves as a valuable resource for pastors, church leaders, and laypeople alike, offering wisdom and insights on navigating the complexities of conservative Christian congregations.
