RC Sproul And Michael Horton Talk Christless Christianity

I make no secret of the fact that Christless Christianity, by Michael Horton, is one of the most influential books I have read over the last five years. What I love about this book is that Horton reveals the works righteous gospel as something that runs far deeper than I ever realized. It is a plague that is evident in liberalism, fundamentalism, and many in between. Horton calls it the religion of "moralistic therapeutic deism" and there is a decent chance that you might be a subscriber to this religion.

The following discussion between Horton and RC Sproul is well worth watching to hear two great modern Christian thinkers discuss this issue of eternal consequence:

PRIVATE FOR YOU:

Books to help in your relationship with your wife and everyone else! This is a good skill to have as a pastor! And they are pastor who have this skill but lack theology skills! So read as much as you can and pray and ask the Lord to challenge you on this! And He will! :)

I listed a few books of authors that can be trusted. :)

As you build in theology you also want to build in your relationship skills to be sort of a good counsellor. Cause you be meeting lots of different types of people and so its good to know how to relate to each different one!
