Description


"The Lulling to Sleep of the Church" is a call for reformation in the church today. It describes six false doctrines that have subtly and gradually taken the church away from God – lulled the church to sleep. Because these teachings do not immediately appear harmful, they have increased in reach and extent of adherence over the past few decades. As a result, they now overshadow all other theology in the church. Additionally, the stacking of each false doctrine upon the others has multiplied their deceit. Furthermore, an unforeseen consequence of these teachings has been the political rise of Donald Trump and the increased politicization of the church, which has also been destructive. Because preachers have consistently appealed to worldly desires and diluted the gospel to the extent that it has no flavor, Christians are looking for a common purpose and cohesion. Led by corrupt leaders, they have turned to a political Christianity. This book explains the false teachings that brought about this metamorphosis, why these doctrines are wrong, how they have damaged the church, and the correct doctrines that should be taught instead. It also provides a biblical answer to the question: Why did Christians vote for Donald Trump? In addition, it challenges Christians to reflect on what we believe, how that affects our worldview, and how we can do better. If you have concerns about the future of the church, these pages will give Scriptures and applications to your concerns. My hope is that each reader gains insight and discernment to awaken from their slumber, so they are watching and ready when Jesus returns.
