LONGWOOD, FL-Churchgoing and the rituals associated with it don't make Christians; only God can make a Christian. Such is the premise behind author Gene Jackson's The Pew Warmers: Thorns Among the Wheat (paperback, 978-1-60477-607-2), which takes a simple look at Christianity from the very beginning, and how it is being practiced today in churches throughout America. The book also examines why churchgoing and church membership have become a habitual practice for millions of Americans, why Jesus' teachings are absent from most churches that claim to be Christian, why millions have been taught to practice a religion of traditions as handed down by their ancestors, and why the churchgoing public has adapted two lifestyles: one when at church and another when at work.
Says Jackson, "[My book] will cause the reader to evaluate his or her relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. And, if not trusting in Jesus Christ, but in churchgoing, they will repent and accept and acknowledge Jesus as their Savior.
After undergoing a life-changing experience during which he was "touched" by Jesus, Jackson's eyes were opened to the truth that millions today are trusting in church membership, not Jesus, for their salvation. As a result, he began taking a look at the underlying motivations behind why people attend church: self-interest, personal gain, recognition, and a hope of heaven. The Pew Warmers will correct this skewed way of thinking by directing readers to Jesus-and to the Bible-for their salvation.
Gene Jackson authored "Reflections along the Way" and Good Times, Bad Times, Ugly Times: That's Life!
