Timid Christianity: Diluting Jesus and Distorting Truth

Jesus was clear when He said I am “the” truth, not simply “a” truth. With that revelation, we know there is one objective Divine truth for our salvation. We know there is neither room nor need for subjective human truths. To believe differently is to presume that the truth revealed by God is incomplete. God revealed His truth, so we don’t have to make up our own, and yet we do. Often, God is nowhere to be found in those subjective truths. God’s truth is never swayed by changes in culture or emotion.

Christians have allowed themselves to become overwhelmed, silenced, and timid in defending and proclaiming God’s objective truths. Jesus commands that we boldly proclaim the gospel, and Paul reminds us that we cannot be timid in protecting these objective truths. God calls us to proclaim “the” truth He revealed, not “a” truth that we made up because it seems easier and makes us feel better. Ironically, those subjective truths lead us away from God and into chaos. God’s truth, even when it makes us uncomfortable, will always lead
us to peace.

In this book, Jim challenges many commonly held subjective truths to awaken those who have become timid in defending the objective truth of their faith. In both cultural and religious contexts, Jim attempts to present God’s objective Divine truth in relation to human subjective truths in a firm, kind, and bold manner.
