can i lose my salvation?

I think Mark Driscoll does a great job of answering this question. Find it here (it’s only 4 minutes!) under Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer sermon series.

The Shack

I have been doing a little research and I am concerned with a book that is on many Christian bookstore shelves today: The Shack.

Endorsed by popular authors and entertainers such as Eugene Peterson and Michael W. Smith, The Shack seems harmless and, actually, a great fiction read for the Christian faith. Michael W. Smith says:

“The Shack is the most absorbing work of fiction I’ve read in many years. My wife and I laughed, cried and repented of our own lack of faith along the way. The Shack will leave you craving for the presence of God.”

At closer glance, however, there are many problems, mostly with the author’s portrayal of God- and the Trinity as well.

I am not a theologian so I am not even going to attempt to go into these said concerns. I have done some research but I consistently prove rather poor in articulating my studies, so I am going to leave it to the experts on this one.

Mark Driscoll has a great sermon on the Trinity (this is an amazing sermon on how every true believer in Christ must affirm the Trinity) in a sermon series called Doctrine: What Every Christian Should Believe. In this sermon he addresses in part the problems with this book and how we as Christians should feel about it. You can find that sermon here.

Albert Mohler dedicated his Friday radio program to looking at The Shack. You can find that download here.
