あらすじ
Before the church can arise and shake the world for the Lord, it must bring back the truth of God's Word. The church needs to make the declaration to "Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God." Wells of Living Waters is a message of the Holy Spirit for the church to remain strongly rooted in the foundational truths inherent in God's Word. Its purpose is to bring back those foundational teachings that Satan has been trying to stop or cover over within the church. In its desire to stay current and culturally relevant, the church has left behind some of the great biblical teachings in order not to offend those who attend. In the process, however, the church has dug all these new wells of teaching only to find many of them dry or worse, filled with poisonous water. Instead of trying to come up with all these new culturally relevant teachings, the church needs to go back and reopen those foundational truths where the true living waters of God's word can be found that has brought life and revival to millions. In Jeremiah 6:16, the Lord said, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls." Wells of Living Waters deals with the foundational truths of holiness, faithfulness, repentance, the blood of Jesus, judgment, hell, Satan, the person and purpose of the Holy Spirit, the authority of the Scriptures, fasting, and stewardship. This book is soundly based on scriptural authority as well as Pastor Lee's long-term experience in the discipling of God's people""to all who seek to bring pure, living water to a thirsty world.
作品考察・見どころ
本書は、現代の潮流に阿ねることで霊的な渇きを招いた教会に対し、聖書の根源的な真理へと回帰せよと迫る、魂の再興を賭けたマニフェストです。デニス・リーは、使い古された「新しさ」の裏に潜む危うさを鋭く告発し、預言者エレミヤが説いた「古道」を歩むことの現代的意義を力強く再定義しています。 単なる教理の解説に留まらず、著者の長年にわたる牧会経験が血肉となった言葉は、真理という名の「井戸」を掘り返す覚悟を読者に促します。聖潔や悔い改めといった、ともすれば敬遠されがちな主題に正面から対峙するその筆致には、読者の魂の深層を震わせ、真に生命を宿した「生ける水」へと導く至高の情熱が宿っています。
