Stand Firm: Living in a Post-Christian Culture
As the believer’s understanding of spiritual truth deepens and he develops godly affections, the attraction fo the former, sinful life fades. The Christian life is a war for holiness. Our calling to be set apart lands us in the crosshairs of a culture that opposes God’s truth. Even as the world around us is changing, our battle remains the same. To withstand the temptation to compromise in sin or retreat from suffering, Christians must hold fast to God’s Word. Only then can we live well for the Lord. In Stand Firm: Living in a Post-Christian Culture, Dr. John MacArthur drafts biblical battle plans for maintaining a life of Christian faithfulness. God has revealed what kind of people we are to be in a hostile world, and by His Word and Spirit, He supplies us with everything we need to persevere in holiness, humility, and love.

‘Pastor MacArthur describes in this short book that the only way for us to stand firm against the evils we face in society is through the knowledge and obedience to the Word of God. He explains clearly that these things we must do, not on our own strength but through the power of God acting in us. It is a blessing to read pastor MacArthur's books because they are filled with biblical references that gives us confidence that the teaching is based on the Truth of God. By reading this book, we can be sure of our need of the indwelling of the Word of God in our minds and consciences in order to live a more sanctified life, being light in this darkened world….Great message! Great book!’ M. Baldanza
