We as Christ's representations have bought into the world's values and its insistence that individuals should never challenge the private beliefs of others, whether outside the church or in it. Many believe that we have no right to judge anyone's lifestyle or beliefs. We have lost the ability to judge the world because we have lost the ability to judge ourselves.
Who Are You To Judge? is a book about discernment; the ability to distinguish the false from the true, or better, the truth from the half-true. Our responsibility as members of the church is to distinguish biblical Christianity from the counterfeit spirituality and values of today's world.
A church that has made its peace with the world can no longer affect it! As 21st century Christians, we have settled down to a complacent form of faith that demands very little of us, and thus makes very little impact on the world. When secular values infiltrate the church, we accept them without a twinge of conscience and congratulate ourselves on our tolerance. We believe that we no longer have the right to challenge secular trends and decisions, in or out of the church. Erwin Lutzer looks at today's world, and confronts us with our responsibility, as believers in the church of Jesus Christ, to again be a force for what is right...not easy.
