I Call It Heresy: And Other Timely Topics From First Peter

by A.W. Tozer

I Call it Heresy is a vibrant study of the Lordship controversy long before it became a major player on the theological stage. A.W. Tozer tackles the heresy of accepting Jesus Christ as Savior with the belief that a person can postpone their accepting Jesus Christ as lord over their lives. A notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Savior and we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to!

In I Call It Heresy, A.W. Tozer uses First Peter as his base to launch out into such themes as holiness, humility, the qualities of our divine inheritance and nine other timely topics. Originally from Tozer Pulpit volume 5 this collection of sermons and other topics taken from First Peter we find a slew of very interesting and timely issues brought to the forefront of his sermons. This is not a doom and gloom book but highlights the appeal of being of Christ's followers and being under His Lordship. How satisfying it is to be under His authority.

Jó gondolatokat, és kemény igazságokat olvastam benne. Ugyanakkor számomra kissé nyersen, és tapintatlanul tálalta az egészet, mely így bennem nem igazán tudta a célját elérni. Számomra "oké" volt. Talán másnak kellemesebb olvasmány lesz.

N-aș da doi bani pe un creștin care nu are nicio dovadă a mântuirii sale decât dacă citează un text. Textul vă conduce la fântână și, dacă plonjați în fântână și ieșiți uzi de acolo, știu că sunteți creștini. Dar dacă stați pe marginea apei și citați un text, nu sunt sigur. Diavolul poate cita texte și nu e necredincios, să nu credeți că este. Diavolul crede, să fiți siguri de asta, iar rezultatul e că tremură de frică. Dar nu e mântuit și nici nu va fi.

I can’t recommend this book enough! It was so easy to read and understand though I’m dyslexic and a new Christian! Great work and 1 Peter so beautifully expounded. I was challenged and learned quite a bit!
