To: Hebrews 11:6
I suspect that's because it drifts rather far afield of the unadorned gospel on which they should focus.

Not really.

Humanity and the world (perhaps the universe) is embroiled in a war between Good and evil. The first rule in war is "know thine enemy."

The Bible not only tells us about God and our Salvation, it also teaches us about the enemy of God, the enemy of our Salvation, and the enemy of ourselves.

The preachers I know don't seem to want to deal with the truth about the war we are in. I think they are afraid of the truth...and, frankly, I can't blame them (it is scary stuff).

Thanks for the clarification. I certainly agree about the reprehensible queasiness of many pulpit-clingers to engage in the biggest battle, using all the weapons God has put at their disposal. Not only do they fear telling the truth, but also they cringe at the prospect of losing butts in the pews, were they really to strap it on--rather than truly trusting the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I thank Him constantly that He has led me to a real gospel warrior and unvarnished truth-teller.

By the way, Heiser's book certainly impresses the reviewers at Amazon: 4.8 / 5.0 !
