Moralism : Morality: A Warped Reflection
Discern the Difference Between True Morality and Deceptive Moralism
In a world where morality is often redefined, Moralism : Morality – A Warped Reflection explores the essential distinction between genuine morality – the essence of God’s character, and moralism – a distorted, man-made substitute. Moralism advances self-reliance, superiority, and superficial righteousness, allowing individuals and even the church to hide behind a facade of goodness without real transformation. It nurtures the appearance of holiness while distancing people from the true moral standard found in God.
Religious moralism takes root in the church, shaping both leaders and followers. It motivates us to appear more righteous than we are, masking our true struggles and presenting a polished exterior. But this outward righteousness lacks the heart change that genuine morality demands. As moralism takes hold, we become more self-protective, justifying our actions while condemning others, all in an attempt to look good before God and people.
This book challenges us to look beyond the false foundations of moralism, both secular and religious, and embrace the pursuit of true God-centered morality. Are we content to live in darkness, justifying ourselves and blaming others, or are we ready to walk in the light of God’s unchanging goodness?

This book very clearly explained the difference between true morality and the moralism that has infiltrated our Christian lives from childhood. There is so much to rethink and re-evaluate. It is a book that I can relate to especially since I live in the same country where the author lives right now. I will definitely be re-reading this book in the future.

Good read. Concise, yet with plenty of strong “aha” moments. Keeping this one on the shelf.
