Enemies with smiling faces : defeating the subtle threats that endanger Christians
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
The world is a dangerous place. Enemies lurk everywhere--in the workplace, in schools, in small towns and big cities, and even in the church. Their faces are various, but they are equally tempting and deceptive. Learning to recognize these "enemies with smiling faces" can keep you from falling prey to their mind-bending, heart-rending lies. Some enemies mask themselves in popular "Christian" concepts that are not truly biblical: Quick fix faith, Feeling-only faith, One-sided faith, and Spiritual superiority. Other enemies are disguised as "common-sense" notions prevalent in today's world: Self-construction, Affluenza, Character without design, and Privatized faith. God calls those who follow him to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves." As Don Posterski reveals the true identities of your enemies, he also teaches you how to develop the discernment you need to find your way in a dangerous world. And because God calls you not simply to resist, but also to love your enemies, Posterski also offers practical, biblical strategies for relating to and living among "enemies with smiling faces."
