Waves of Change - A guidebook for helping young Christians deal with change in the Church.

In a modern world that demands change in virtually every aspect of life, especially religion and worship, God's eternal plan for the Church refuses to budge. It is the same today as it was on the Day of Pentecost when 3,000 souls were added to the Church. And it will be the same 2,000 years from now, should the world last that long. Unfortunately, many of the young people in the Lord's Church are being influenced to "adjust" God's will to make it more acceptable to the ever-changing world in which they live. Satan is effectively drawing many of our youth away from the old Cross Road, into the broad way of "contemporary worship," less stringent qualifications for salvation, less reliance on the Bible, and more feeling-oriented decision making. Knowing that the youth of today comprise the church leaders of tomorrow, Satan delights in filling our young people's minds with dissatisfaction with God's eternal plan for the Church, worship, salvation, and morality. He perches on their spiritual shoulders and whispers, "You must change. You must fit in. You must keep pace with the world." Waves of Change is a book designed to combat Satan's cries for change. It is designed to help our youth critically analyze where such changes come from and where they will lead. It is a book intended to direct their minds in the fundamental truths of God's Word and equip them to deal with many of the sinful changes that are bombarding the Church, while at the same time offering a well-balanced approach that veers neither to the right nor the left. It is our hope and prayer that this book will help those who study it to avoid being tossed about with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14), and to effectively stand strong against the powerful waves of change. This book contains material that deals with such topics as the Holy Spirit, baptism, women's role in worship, instrumental music, lifting holy hands, and much more.
