Author: John MacArthur There is no user-friendly, seeker-sensitive Gospel. There Is Only the Truth. Deny Yourself. Take Up Your Cross. No Superficial Commitments. Deny yourself? Take up a cross? Who wants to do that? Yet that's what Jesus requires of you and me and anyone else who would follow Him. This book is John MacArthur's unflinching, unapologetic treatise on the modern tendency to alter the true message of Christianity in order to meet the whims and desires of a culture hoping for non-confrontational messages, easy answers, and superficial commitments. Faith in Him demands a willingness to make any sacrifice He asks. The hard truth about Christianity is that the cost is high... Too many people just want a Madison Avenue Jesus to make them well, make them happy, and make them prosperous. But Jesus Christ isn't a personal genie. He is the Savior. He died in agony to satisfy the wrath of a holy God and to forgive the sins of humankind. Faith in Him demands a willingness to make any sacrifice He asks. The hard truth about Christianity is that the cost is high, but the rewards are priceless: abundant and eternal life that comes only from faithfully following Christ. ...what it really means to be committed to Jesus Christ... In this book, pastor, teacher, and best-selling author John MacArthur will make you face Gospel reality---what it really means to be committed to Jesus Christ, and not a cheap imitation of the Christian life ________________________ |

Tell others about Jesus like John MacArthur does: Though we are not all called to the ministry of a Pastor or Christian Writer, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians. Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). ______________________________ Copyright © 2004 S.G.P.
