The Pillars of Christian Character

The Essential Attitudes of a Living Faith

Without question the crucial issue in living the Christian life is the condition of your heart. Actions may be temporarily deceiving, but ultimately your outward behaviour will reflect what’s inside, because your internal attitudes form who you really are. Those inner attitudes are also what God deems most important.

In this book one of Christianity’s most respected Bible teachers and pastors closely examines the foundational attitudes, or “pillars,” of Christian character as outlined in God’s Word. Pillars such as genuine faith, obedience, humility, selfless love, forgiveness, self-discipline, gratitude, and worship.

To some degree each trait, on its own, marks a person as one of God’s own and reveals an active, living faith. Each is an essential element of mature Christianity. But there is transforming power when you combine them in your everyday living as God commands. Your character will be grounded in godliness; you will see things from an eternal perspective; and your faith, your actions, your witness to others will be revitalised from the inside out.

God Cures the Cares of your Soul

As Christians, we’re certainly not immune to the troubles of life. We aren’t promised an easy road, and when troubles do come, we’re urged to rise above them and experience “peace that passes understanding.”

But how, in day-to-day life, does that really happen? While numerous books have been written on overcoming anxiety, Anxious for Nothing moves us beyond pop psychology’s temporary cures by returning us to our one true source of comfort and victory — Scripture.

Grounded in the Scriptures, author and speaker John MacArthur reminds us that God understands our struggles and has equipped us with resources to not only face, but also to truly triumph over our anxieties.
