One
of the smallest books of the Bible contains one of its
strongest commands: “
. . . earnestly contend for the faith.”
(Jude,
verse
3)
How
do we contend for our faith? How do we effectively defend our
Christian doctrines with Scripture and not man’s opinion?
An
excellent resource for every Christian home is a book called Bible
Doctrines for Today
by Michael Bere (Pensacola,
FL).
This book is published by A Beka Book, and our own children use it
as a textbook in their 10th
grade Bible class in homeschool. It is moderately
easy
to read (high
school level),
full of Scripture, and rich with well-stated explanations for each of
the nine basic doctrines of our
faith.
Some
topics that are especially helpful in Bible
Doctrines for Today
include the following:
●How
do we know that our
Bible
is truly inspired?
●Is
there any evidence that Jesus truly rose from the dead?
●How
can we argue effectively against the false teaching of evolution?
●Why
do we believe in the Rapture of the church?
●What
is “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit”?
●Do
babies go to heaven if they die?
●What
is our attitude to be toward hostile human government?
●Does
the Bible really state that Jesus Christ is God?
These,
and many other important topics, are covered thoroughly in this
343-page book. It is not meant to be read in a day, but it is a
valuable time
investment for
anyone who wants to defend his faith with more than just opinion.
Our greatest resource as Christians is the confidence with which we
can rest in “Thus saith the Lord”!
The
book can be ordered online from A Beka Book.
It
is also easily available second-hand
through
ebay, Amazon,
and Christianbook.com.
