The Need for Discernment, Even at Your Friendly Neighbourhood Christian Bookstore

I have noticed with interest and concern several fellow Multiply users' recent posts, complimenting and giving rave reviews about the book "Wild At Heart" by John Eldredge.


My first encounter with that title was actually through reading a critique about it, and its author, in a book which I have covered in my Reviews section - "Fool's Gold" by John MacArthur.  Though I have not read Eldredge's book myself, from what I have gleaned from MacArthur's "Fool's Gold", which advocates the importance of exercising biblical discernment in all the dealings of a believer, I am convinced of the critical problems that Eldredge's writings pose to the body of Christ, especially to those impressionable members who are weak in the Word, and who may accept any form of pleasurable, comfortable doctrine espoused by their church leaders.


Hence, I have taken the liberty to investigate the matter further.  And discovered to my delight that God had graciously provided an exceptional review of Eldredge's book - go to the link below:

I am rather heartened that the review of Eldredge's book in that link is actually offered by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, a respectable body that serves as an effective, authoritative platform to handle appropriately, and correctly, the issues presented in Eldredge's "Wild At Heart".


I will therefore challenge any reader who may have been won over, bowled over by John Eldredge's writing style, to seriously re-examine the content of his message, after having considered the nature of what I am sharing about here.

Chanced upon this very insightful critique of the supposed idea of American invincibility and her pervading sense of self-importance and indispensability in the world. Link ______________________________________________________________________ The Myth of American Exceptionalism The idea that the United States is uniquely virtuous may be comforting to Americans. Too bad it's not true. BY STEPHEN M. WALT | NOVEMBER 2011 Over the last two centuries, prominent Americans have described the United States as an " empire of liberty ," a " shining city on a hill ," the " last best hope of Earth ," the "leader of the free world," and the " indispensable nation ." These enduring tropes explain why all presidential candidates feel compelled to offer ritualistic paeans to America's greatness and why President Barack Obama landed in hot water -- most recently, from Mitt Romney -- for s...

Future Weapons - ATACMS T2KU-2A

Image
This is the latest incarnation of the US Army Tactical Missile System, a guided surface-to-surface artillery rocket system that exceeds the range of the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) by four times (in excess of 200 km). This latest version incorporates modifications to the flight dynamics and rocket trajectory, as well as enhanced target accuracy for application in urban warfare environments, allowing the rocket to achieve a precision strike by impacting its target in a near-vertical angle of attack, thus minimising collateral damage. This new system capability provides an added dimension to the options available to soldiers and commanders in the field in the engagement of high-value, time-sensitive targets that are surrounded by clutter such as civilian personnel and structures.
