Let Christian Men Be Men 4th Edition

Let Christian Men Be MenBy David ClarkeA bold and unflinching account of spiritual awakening church conflict and the call for biblical manhood.In Let Christian Men Be Men David Clarke tells the true story of his spiritual journey and eventual secession from the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptist Church in 1984. The Bierton Church-lawfully established in 1831-officially became a Gospel Standard cause in 1981. But with this shift came doctrinal tensions disorder and a growing divergence between confessional standards and church practice.Rooted in Scripture and fuelled by a fervent desire for clarity and godly order this gripping narrative charts David's transformation from a life of crime to a life of conviction culminating in his refusal to remain silent amidst theological compromise.This fourth edition includes updated commentary original letters and formal church documents that lay bare the difficult questions confronting confessional churches today-such as the believer's rule of life the place of women in the church and clearly identifying the nature of evangelical repentance as distinguished from legal repentance.More than a memoir this is a call to courage: that Christian men might stand fast in the liberty of Christ resist religious formalism and contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
