Jeremiah — Book Overview
The Bible4Jesus.com Podcast
About this episode
The modern evangelical church is suffering from a profound crisis of authority. We are timid when we ought to be bold, and we are silent when we ought to be roaring. We have become terrified of the spirit of the age, and so we trim our message, sand off the sharp edges of the law, and present a gospel that is palatable to the unregenerate heart, which is to say, we present a gospel that is no gospel at all. We live in an age that is drunk on lies. We are told that men can be women, that debt is prosperity, that freedom is slavery, and that truth is whatever you feel it to be in your gut at any given moment. It is fifty-one chapters of judgment, woe, and disaster. It is the record of a nation's implosion, a covenant people getting exactly what their sins deserved. Jeremiah is the weeping prophet, and as we read his words, we weep with him.
