Captive to This World

T.M. Moore

Our readings in this series are from the book, The Church Captive. Here is a brief excerpt from page 37:

“The Church in Gaul was captive in fear and trembling to men who were themselves captive to worldly interests and not prepared to consider a change in their status quo. The Frankish clergy had hung a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign over their ministries, and they were not about to alter their ways to suit some cocky Irishman.


“The god of the belly can supplant the God of all grace and truth, and we become “surrounded unawares”, unless we keep a close check on our walk with and work for the Lord.

“And when we are captive to anything or anyone other than Jesus Christ, the people we serve will be captive to some form of near-Christianity rather than to the glorious Gospel of the Kingdom, and the faith that has been entrusted once for all to the saints.”

Now, and for a limited time, you can order The Church Captive together with the next book in our Read Moore series, Revived!, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. A free discussion guide is available as well.
