Be Distinct-the last installment in a 30-year tradition of excellence in Bible exposition!
Don't waste your life keeping up with the crowd and imitating the imitators. Be distinct!
Are you living as the unique person God created you to be? Are you a conformer or a transformer? Are you a "blended believer," or are you distinct?
Tough questions-and with them comes a compelling final challenge from one of the most beloved Bible expositors of our times. In this study of 2 Kings (and portions of 2 Chronicles), Warren Wiersbe examines in-depth the tale of two kingdoms, both of whom committed spiritual and national suicide. How? By imitating their neighbors and failing to be distinct.
This book hits head-on many questions that are as much concerns for today's church as they were during the decline of Israel and Judah:
How can believers be "light" in a dark world and "salt" in a decaying society?
Why does everything rise and fall with leadership?
Who are the people that God uses to make a difference?
Where is society headed when the imitators take over?
What should we expect when moral absolutes are ignored?
The call to be distinctly a child of God is difficult. And Wiersbe acknowledges that, yes, there is a price to pay-but you pay a far greater price when you go with the human flow. And more so, beyond the risks, incomparable blessings will be reaped by those who choose to follow God's unique, transforming drum-beat.
This last Be Series title has the distinction of concluding Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe's trek through the entire Bible (being compiled in Victor's six-volume Bible Exposition Commentary series). Along with his decades of writing for believers, Wiersbe has served as Writer-in-Residence at Cornerstone College in Grand Rapids. Likewise, he has pastored three churches, including Moody Church in Chicago; and he served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible Broadcast.
