Seeing beyond the sugar coating of sin in our hearts

KNOW YOUR ENEMY
By
Graham Beynon
10Publishing. 122 pages. £5.99
ISBN 978 1 913 896 058

This book is a call to holy living by resisting temptation. The focus is on how the enemy operates and how to counter this. Every time we sin, we put our faith in Satan’s lies. Instead, we should remember the better promises of the gospel.

Beynon helpfully brings out the distinction between deliberate and negligent sins. The former are sins we choose to do and the latter are the good things we fail to do. Other ways he expresses the difference are overreach (wanting to be like God) and opting out (failing to be like God); vandalism and negligence; vanity and sloth. A respectable evangelical can avoid the former but fail to tackle the latter.
