Recognize Our Captivity

“Alan Noble, Frank Viola, and George Barna call us to repent of every semblance and trapping of secular practice, all our attempts merely to make people feel good, and take up again the work of calling people to fear and worship the one, true God.

“But until we recognize our captivity – the chains of secularism, tech-nique, and narcissism that we drag around like old Marleys – we will not turn to the Lord, speaking to us from the fountain of His Word, to embrace a Gospel that is whole, exclusive, demanding, unyielding, and the only hope of forgiveness and life.“[Alan Noble concludes:] ‘At the level of the church, we must abandon practices adopted from the secular marketplace that trivialize our faith, and instead return to traditional church practices that encourage contemplation and awe before a transcendent God.’”

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.
