I understand in today’s day and age that it is not always “polite” to be exclusive. In fact, there are many things that we are not to be exclusive about--like who we share the Gospel with, or treat with the kindness of Christ! However, Scripture is very clear that we are to avoid false teachers like our lives depend on it (because they actually do)! When it comes to Truth with a capital “T,” there is not room for Fallacy. This means that I am going to be inclusive in my considerations, but exclusive in my recommendations.
There will be some books that I may recommend, however, that do not teach exactly to a “t” what I would teach. In cases like this, I will always try to be clear on my disagreements as well as try to give some information about why I disagree more specifically. What about the resources that I have many disagreements about? Is it mean to say that one would not recommend a book? No. It’s not mean at all! There are many instances in Scripture when Jesus himself would rebuke openly the Pharisees and religious leaders of his day. Even the Apostle Paul, in many of his letters found in Scripture, rebuked the false teachings as well as false teachers themselves. Obviously, there are perameters to how we rebuke false teachings/teachers. I will do my best to deal with every person as Christ has exemplified in Scripture. And if there is ever a question of my conclusions or intentions, my contact page will always be available for clarity and friendly Christian conversation. I understand that my conclusions will not always be the popular conclusions, but as I mentioned before in this letter, my accountability in all areas of my life is to God--and giving advice is not something I ever want to take lightly again. I cherish the opportunity to help you become more of the woman God desires you to be, and I would be an absolute fool to lead you on a faulty path because it makes for trendy writing. I am thankful that you would trust me in this endeavor, and my goal is that God would so transform my life through discipleship that the overflow would extend to all of your lives in the same beautiful way! Here is to a new chapter of humble beginnings… Be sure to sign up for the monthly book review at the top of the page!
