A book recommendation...

Who Are You to Judge? Learning to Distinguish Between Truths, Half-Truths, and Lies (Chicago: Moody Publishers, 2002).

By Erwin W Lutzer, Senior Pastor, The Moody Church, Chicago.

I well remember when Pastor Lutzer preached this incredible series of sermons in the Fall of 2002. In the Introduction, he states that this book is about "discernment, the ability to distinguish the false from the true, or better, the false from the half-true."

Here are the Chapter Titles:

Why Are We Afraid to Judge?

Judge Not, That You Be Not Judged

When You Judge Doctrine

When You Judge False Prophets

When You Judge Miracles

When You Judge Entertainment

When You Judge Appearances

When You Judge Neopaganism

When You Judge Ghosts, Angels, and Shrines

When You Judge Conduct

When You Judge Character

One doesn't always have to agree with everything that any writer states, pastor or not, but Dr Lutzer's messages will definitely open up these subjects for discussion, debate, and the search for scriptural truths.

You can also contact Moody Church Media Ministries (1-800-215-5001) and get this series on CDs. The staff at Media Ministries will be glad to help you with your order.

I want to highly and heartily recommend this great volume.
