Book Description
"FLIRTING WITH POTIPHAR'S WIFE - The Seduction Of Western Evangelicalism" exposes the subtle influences and philosophies that have eroded biblical Christianity and have blurred the true nature and character of the church. As a result, much of Evangelicalism has been stripped of its authoritative message. The author contends that the absolute authority of God's inspired Word has been undermined by an evangelical leadership that has replaced it with novel manipulations, popular fads and a market driven philosophy of church growth that offers "sensitive seekers" a comfortable pew, self-gratification and a feel-good religion without sacrifice or commitment. Unlike Joseph of old who fled the seductions of a lustful woman; much of evangelicalism today has succumbed to the hedonistic gibberish and pop psychology of a new paganism. In reality, this is committing spiritual adultery! This book offers a concise overview of the existing crisis along with solutions that are vital to the survival and revival of the evangelical message. Rev. Garry L. Lybeck majored in the fields of pastoral theology, biblical studies and Christian education; attaining a pastoral theology diploma from Central Pentecostal College, a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies degree from Dallas Bible College and a Master of Arts in Ministry degree from Luther Rice Seminary. He is also a graduate of The Institute of Christian Counseling and The New York Institute of Photography. Ordained in 1966, he has served as senior pastor in five churches, (including pioneer church planting), and as Director of Christian Education in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada. His involvement in Christian ministry and service spans over forty years. You are welcome to contact the Author at: www.ChurchInConflict.com
