/24-7PressRelease/ - HENDERSONVILLE, TN, May 16, 2008 - Dave Macy, author of the book Doubt Free Living, has delivered what he calls a "gut check" dare to the Christian church. Appearing on the Harvest show (part of LeSea's World Harvest Television Network) Macy made it clear that there is a crisis in the American Christian church today of unparalleled urgency.
"The church is overflowing with CINOs (Christians in Name Only) who have no idea that they need to be born again," says Macy. "We have developed a message that is far different from the gospel of Jesus Christ and as a result, many who are deciding to become Christians are doing so for all the wrong reasons."
In his book Macy itemizes some of the attractions that draw people to church that have nothing to do with salvation. "People can be drawn to have a 'purpose' or a deeper meaning in their lives, or they may enjoy the coffee bar, the worship music, the drama, and all the trappings of 'seeker -friendly' churches, but they may never hear the reality of Hell and the of the need to be Born Again!,'" says Macy. "The fact is that there are thousands of priests and ministers who on any given Sunday will never talk about the need for repentance and salvation."
Macy is a former skeptic who became a Christian in 1997. His first book called Doubt Free Living is a collection of short essays and stories that center on the certainty of Christianity through the Bible, reason, and apologetics. The web site doubtfreeliving.com is full of Christian resources, a prayer request page, and even posts news stories from a Christian worldview. "People have told me it's a bit like Oswald Chambers on steroids," says Macy, "but I want the church to wake up and get back to the real message of Jesus Christ. Cool Christian websites, t-shirts, and those little fishes on your car don't make you a true believer—people need to examine just why they have taken the LORD's name to be sure they haven't done so in vain."
Doubt Free Living is a Chrsitian news and information website dedicated to helping believers strengthen their faith. It has many Apologetic resources, offers a prayer center, and a no cost newsletter to anyone who registers.
