That should forets up my thoughts on this new publication from Erwin W. Lutzer, senior pastor of Moody Church, and Moody Publishers. Three sittings and 48 hours later I have now finished this stroke of genius. Lutzer writes, “I believe it is disingenuous when political opponents here in the United States call those who disagree with them “Nazis” or “Hitler.
No, in a very tactful and succinct way, Lutzer in pages points the reader to the facts, documents, and Christian writers who lived through the Nazi regime and uses their experiences and warning to parallel some of what many Americans see today as the abandonment of our countries inhibited history.
This leads to his last chapter. As I stated above, what drew me into this book was Lutzer’s refusal to point fingers at our contemporaries. That remained so until the final chapter.
In the final chapter, Lutzer removes his gloves and begins throwing punches. Not at Obama or Pelosi.
Not at Bush or Glenn Beck. No,Lutzer, and rightfully so, comes directly into the face of today’s Christian. He reminds us that the only way Nazi Germany was allowed to take place was gd the Christians, primarily the pastors and preachers, in that area decided to bow to the Reich and hide the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Whne out the compromise that is already taking place today in the church, Lutzer unabashedly calls these wolves in sheep’s clothing to repentance.
I personally pledged to myself to read this last chapter everyday for shen next month because therein lies, outside of scripture, one of the most powerful sentences I have read in some time. I personally read it three times to myself and three times to my wife I was so taken by those words.
Lutzer’s final plea is to return to the cross. In our teaching, preaching, praying, and living, return to the cross. He asks that we stop veiling the cross in nationalism enough with the founding fathers argumentparty lines, and protest.
All of these things avert from our true message we are called to teach: Lutzer points out that our railing and arguing all accomplish the goal of making the Christian seen, but that is not our goal. Our goal is to make the cross, not the Christian seen.
Lutzer avoids making any doctrinal assertions in this book and any believer in the true gospel should be able to get on forgrts with the message in this boo Sep 30, Nwtion McIntire rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is like a peaceful “manual of arms” for Christians who would be the Bonhoeffers and Niemollers forgest our present anti-Christ generation.
It’s quick to read and easy to understand, and manages to confront current realities without seeming alarmist or overly political.
A Bookworm Pastor Recommends ______________: “When a Nation Forgets God” (Erwin Lutzer)
I recommend it to all Christians. I think the cover of this book does not do it justice. Some might think it more about propaganda. The book is a quick read that brings history into our present world. I would suggest anyone reading this book that would have any preconceived ideals put to naation side gid to let history validate what Erwin is writing. History has proven that time and time again, what happens when a nation, a tribe, a people forget God.
When a Nation Forgets God Quotes
Dahlem prophetically declared God’s purpose in the tials that faced the German chu I think the cover of this book does not do it justice. Dahlem prophetically declared God’s purpose wuen the tials that faced the German church It is now springtime for the eriwn and expectant christian church I like how Erwin points out that we will not win these battles simply with politics or by argument, but what we will win as christians is by the Cross.
We have lost our intellectual and spiritual center and replaced with with consumerism, self-help, and the quest for personal advantage. We are self-absorbed rather than God-absorbed. A few substitutes for the message of the Gospel. God wants you to experience physical healing God wants you to be healthy and wealthy too Jesus will help you be a better businessman, parents, etc God wants you to cheerily face life by knowing “God is for you” whether you have repented of sin or not The message of Christianity is community – not the cross This message did not help the German church when the Nazi’s lutser into power and even before they came into power.
If we think this will not happen in the US, think again. It will begin by how and what are children are taught, Hate Crimes being implemented to protect a few when laws are already in place. In Erwins book he points out why our culture and the church is changing. In the book Hitler wrote Mein Kampff, the stradgey was with the youth, the emotion and the crowd and media. Christians are being labeled that they are not tolerant, bigots, etc and who wants to be a christian after being labeled in such a way.
When a Nation Forgets God: 7 Lessons We Must Learn from Nazi Germany
Some may think what is wrong with the Government taking care of you. Those who live in socialistic state become slaves of government regulations and government laws. Your laws erwon your God. The moral landscape of a country is strongly influenced by its laws.
Think of the implications! What it comes down to without a belief in God, nothing is unconditionally wrong. I am talking about the God of the Old and New Testament! I would strongly suggest christians to read this book.
It help you to look at the cross differently!
Jan 29, Jessie Gussman rated it it was amazing. Yes, it is possible for ordinary people to commit atrocities they never thought possible when they are swept up into a cultural current where everyone is both expected to fall in line and be rewarded for it.
In such a climate, anyone who swims against the stream is demonized by misrepresentations, false evidence and ridicule. Mar 12, Dave Jones rated it liked it Shelves: This book was lent to me by a friend. What I found was red meat for social and religious conservatives with parallels to the societal engineering by Hitler. Perhaps this is because I think these premises are brought home much more powerfully by Bonhoeffer: A History of Nazi Germany. I have reviewed both of these books.
I also thought that Lutzer focused too much on the liability side of the balance sheet. It is not enough to decry the dark efforts of the secular humanist social engineers. More examples of the benefits of exercising biblical principles would positively promote societal wellness. Another big issue I had was the lack of a bibliography. The best part of When a Nation Forgets is the last two chapters.
None of these vignettes even had a footnote reference. Only one had a contextual reference. There is some good stuff here, though.
Here are a few points that I think sum up the theme of the book pretty well:
