Most preachers wouldn’t touch this with a ten-foot pew.
They simply wouldn’t know what to do with it. A text like this messes with all of the happy-clappy idols of what God is like and forces us to confront God as he IS, not as we WANT Him to be.
And that’s why we do expositional preaching. You don’t get to ‘nope out’ of the hard texts that drop your preconceived notions into a blender. You are forced to face them and integrate them with the rest of Divine Writ.
Now that you know what you’re in for… tighten that chin strap and let’s jump into what’s happening in Acts chapter five.
Lionhearted: Making Young Christian Males Rowdy Biblical Men
Dear young Christian male, this book you’re about to read is meant to challenge you to your very core. Its intent is not to make you feel warm and fuzzy. Some of the chapters will upset you greatly, especially if you’re a dandy who was raised with kid gloves by a helicopter mommy.
That said, in addition to the holy introspection contained herein, this book will also shoot adrenaline into your soul. It’ll push you to be a Godly risk taker and earth shaker. A veritable Rebel With A Cause just like the Captain of Our Salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you want a feel-good book that tickles your ears and morphs you into a little Christian popinjay, this tome ain’t for you. You should put this book down and walk away from it immediately. However, if, young man, if … your motto is to give God your utmost for His highest, and you wanna live a life worthy of Christ’s death, then this book will be grist for your mill.
