Most of us as Christians have things we believe, and tell others, and even count on, that we've not carefully examined. Some of the things we accept and repeat to others sound so true, and we've believed them for so long, that they become what some call "sacred cows"__things above question or
criticism. When these beliefs are questioned we become defensive or irritated. We may even worry that if the beliefs aren't true, the rest of our faith may crumble.
During the next few weeks, I'll be publishing excerpts from my new book, Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn't Say, on my blog.
The book examines these popular half truths that many Christians embrace:
• Everything happens for a reason
• God helps those who help themselves
• God won't give you more than you can handle
• God said it, I believe it, that settles it
• Love the sinner, hate the sin
Visit my website to find links to:

• watch the book trailer preview video, and
• listen to the Ministry Matters podcast where I
discuss the new book with host Matt Rawle.
