What is Faith Deconstruction vs. Faith Recommitment
Show Notes

Over the last couple of years, “Deconstruction” became a popular buzzword in the carnal christian lexicon.

Summary

Deconstruction means one is exploring the foundations of their faith and subsequently moving away from the Bible, away from fellowship with other Biblical Christians, while establishing a broad, “open christianity” that conforms to their view of what is truth, moral, and right, rather than God’s view, (based on His Word). It involves replacing the God of the Bible with a false god based on what mankind “feels” He should think and believe. It means abdicating traditional beliefs about Salvation, Heaven & Hell, Jesus as fully God and fully man, and the Bible being authored by the God of the universe.

Recommitment means a recognition that one has drifted away from God and has a desire to return to His precepts and commands. This can represent a broad range of actions from a simple prayer of repentance to a full revisit of one’s foundational theology, with the objective of accepting the Bible and God’s traditional commands found within its pages as ultimate authority. 

Sadly, the direction of the first group is headed away from God. The direction of the believer in the second group is heading toward a loving and righteous God who forgives. 

Galatians 5:7-8 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
