Publisher's Description
Are you losing your ability to recognize sin? Are you becoming a person who finds it easy to shift blame, deny guilt, or excuse moral failure in yourself or others? In this challenging yet compelling book, John MacArthur encourages you to confront the culture's flight from moral responsibility. With sound biblical truth, this book shows how and why sin must be dealt with if you are to live in a way that pleases God. With clarity and insight, John MacArthur provides you with solutions for attaining a personal holiness that can take you from living a life of blame and denial to one of peace and freedom. Praise for The Vanishing Conscience: "... a wake-up call and an alarm to jolt the sleeping church. Not all will like it, but all should read it. In this day of morality by majority, self-centered ministry, and twilight-zone theology, a clear word like this is long overdue. "-- Dr. Adrian Rogers, Pastor, Bellevue Baptist Church "... a clear and prophetic word that we must hear and heed. " -- Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, President, Moody Bible Institute " With the clarion call of a prophet, MacArthur points us back to something we have forgotten: the value and importance of a clean conscience. " -- Greg Laurie, Senior Pastor, Harvest Christian Fellowship

“Nowadays the word sin is rarely used in public discourse, ' says John MacArthur. 'Human misbehavior is usually treated as a medical problem rather than a moral one. Guilt is seen as a harmful emotion and, as a result, guilt feelings are denied rather than dealt with.'And, unfortunately, the church has become part of the problem instead of the solution. Instead of proclaiming the Bible's teaching about depravity and guilt and repentance, the church too often echoes the world's thinking on the psychology of guilt and the importance of feeling good about ourselves.”
