Thread: The Unsaved Christian

  1. #1

    The Unsaved Christian

    Author: Dean Inserra

    Reaching cultural Christianity with the Gospel.

    My wife ordered this for me saying it’s a book I could have written. This is my passion and fire in ministry. The author lists 8 types of cultural Christians:
    1. Country Club Christians
    2. Christmas and Easter Christians
    3. God & Country Christians
    4. Liberal Social Justice Christians
    5. Good Guy Next Door Christians
    6. Generational Catholic Christians
    7. Mainline Protestant
    8. Bible Belt Christians

    “His inspiration was drawn from Matt 7:21-23 which starkly portrays the self-deception of self-identified Christians whom Christ cannot identify as His own.”

    This is going to be a good read.

    See that first one on the list? I preached 2 years in that one. Pretty much what grabbed my attention. We saw the book review in the monthly publication sent to A/G ministers. Our retired Superintendent George Wood penned the review to which I quoted the above line in quotes.

    The title is of course purposely provocative in the same way Doc Brown’s book “How Saved Are We?”.

    There should be another point on the list :

    9) People who pray like this "God, I thank You that I am not like the people on Dean Inserra's list..."

    Well I don't think anyone would be reading the book because they thought they were on that list. So I guess that makes anyone reading the book automatically a #9.

    The book is geared toward helping to minister to these that are deceived. Me, I intensely did this for the last 2 years until the Lord called me away (thank God).

    #9 is what the Pharisee said whom Jesus declared unsaved in Luke 18. So does that take the number down to zero then ?

You can forget about unexpected repair costs with an extended service contract for your Saab. Many vehicle repairs can cost thousands of dollars in unexpected expense, now may be the time to consider an extended service plan for your vehicle.
