Our readings in this series are from the book, The Church Captive. Here is a brief excerpt from page 41:
“Luther’s [early 16th century] call for reform quickly began to strike a resonant chord in the hearts of many. In our day, many are calling for us to examine ourselves and our practices of the faith.
“Have we entered a new season of captivity to wrong teaching, bogus practices, and misguided good intentions? Have we lost sight of the true meaning of faith, and are we guilty of despising the examples and heritage of our forebears?
“Were it so, this would be a terrible tragedy.
“Let it not be said of this generation of church leaders that, for the sake of numbers, convenience, programs that ‘work’, or any other false standard, we have robbed the followers of Christ of their true liberty in the Gospel.”
Now, and for a limited time, you can order The Church Captive together with the next book in our Read Moore series, Revived!, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. A free discussion guide is available as well.
T. M. Moore.
