Subject: Say we that love God so much,Still fall |
Bible Note: Thanks for the link. The Web site is correct in pointing out that the Navigators, like Campus Crusade for Christ, has a blend of the good and the not-so-good. Bridges most definitely falls into the former category. He is a covenant theologian, but that is about the only thing in this review that is correct about him (and being one myself, I don;t consider that an attack). Oh, the process of sanctification does involve discipline on our part, but he got that kooky idea from this book called the Bible. It is interesting that the site, while claiming to be a review, doesn't mention one word about the contents of any of those books. If you want to be a Berean, like the Bereans of Paul's day, remember that they searched the SCRIPTURES to see if what he was saying it was true. With the wealth of Bible references, as well as an accompanying Bible study guide in some editions, I think that it is safe to say that Bridges is quite biblically sound. This book, like the others of Bridges, are completely God-centered and Bible-based. As for the Web site, it seems to be a mixture of good and complete misunderstanding. Beware of the term "moderate Calvinism." While it is a (wrong) viewpoint that genuine Christians can hold, it is not really Calvinism at all. My recommendation? Get Bridges book and pick up your Bible and study what he says for yourself. You will be richly rewarded. --Joe! |
