Just about a year ago, my bi-weekly Bible study started going through Jerry Bridges' book Respectable Sins. I was expecting a convicting book, and boy was I right.The premise of the book is that Christians too often focus solely on the big sins in each other's lives and the culture around us that we don't focus on the sin in our own life. So the book doesn't discuss things like adultery or murder. Instead, it devotes chapters to sins we try to ignore in ourselves like anger, discontentment, unthankfulness, pride, selfishness, judgementalism, and envy.The first few chapters are an overview of sin and the modern church culture. Jerry Bridges takes aim at how the church has stopped paying attention to these sins and reminds us that all sins are vile in God's eyes. He also reminds us of the importance of repentance and God's grace through sanctification to help us overcome these sins.Chapter seven of the twenty-one chapter book begins looking at the individuals sins. Many chapters are devoted to just one while some take on related sins. For example, he looks at gossip and slander in the "Sins of the Tongue" chapter.Since the chapters are about eight to ten pages each, Dr. Bridges never goes too deep. But he does use illustrations, usually from his own life, to show how easy and prevalent this sin can be. He'll then show from scripture how bad it is and offers us some reminders as we live our lives.Despite the fact that the chapters are short, they really pack a wallop. Most week's we've been going through the book one chapter at a time. While I probably would have read this 180 page book in a few days if it were up to me, this slower pace was good because it allowed me time to really think about what we were reading. Talking about it with others allowed the conviction to truly grow.And don't think you'll get out of conviction here. Every single chapter hit me in some way. Yes, some were more relevant to my life than others, but in all areas I had to do some soul searching and repentance.I can imagine how difficult this book would have been to write. None of the chapters gets too deep, and many of the subjects could use their own book. But I feel that Dr. Bridges does a good job of getting his point across in the limited number of pages he has. And if you want to know more about something, you can always research it on your own.Dr. Bridges even acknowledges that some of the topics addressed, like anxiety, might require greater help than he can provide through one chapter in one book. He assumes that most of his readers are facing normal levels of these sins, but when counseling might be needed, he does mention that in the chapter.If you pick up Respectable Sins and take it seriously, you won't put it down again the same. Not only does this need to be read by Christians, but it should be reread on a regular basis.
Personal holiness is a key theme for Jerry Bridges and in this book he deals with some of the sins that we don't mind displaying because we just don't think they are that bad, sometimes you the extent that we don't even think of them as sin.I think this book is very important for Christians today, particularly in the Industrialized West. It's not that Christians from less developed countries don't share these sins, but rather that Bridges addresses them in ways that are particularly applicable to Americans and Europeans.One reason I give it four instead of five stars is that he sometimes stretches to make a point. Occasionally he points out a valid area of sin, but his personal anecdotes fall a bit short in identifying that sin in himself just to identify himself with his readers.Another reason for four stars it's that Bridges' overt evangelicalism limits the book's appeal for those outside that part of the spectrum of Christian belief and practice.I most recently used this book for a small group study and it provided a great springboard for discussion. At the same time, it provided a great motivation for personal introspection and a desire for holiness in the areas he covers.
I had the privilege to read this book quite recently for a book study and then on my own. I consider this a must for all who profess Christ as their Lord and Savior. If you are not convicted by this book, I would recommend you question your relationship with Christ. This is so convicting and what makes it so good, is that the author brings in his own experience in to show us that the most mature believer who has known the Lord for many years and has taught others for years, was greatly convicted by these "respectable sins"! He not just makes us face them as sin, but gives us encouragement to fight against them.
We all know there are no "respectable sins," but there are some that we tend to overlook because we may not think of them as being as sinful as adultery, murder, theft.... Mr. Bridges does a great job in my opinion of discussing sin in general and then bringing out things in our lives that we need to identify in our lives that will make us more like Christ and allow us to have a closer walk with God.
Time goes by and I focus on big concerns in my life and forget the little things. At least it seems to happen that way to me. I allowed some "respectable sins" to creep into my life. I needed to see those spelled out and begin to deal with them. The book is well written and focuses on what the sins are (enough that we get the idea) and what they look like without nit-picking the minor details. A good book that I needed to read and apply.
This is an insightful book....The best way I can describe the effect it is having on our small group is to take a bit from an e-mail about one chapter from the bookl“Dear Friends, I invite you to take an 11 day journey with me. It is designed to help YOU confront and overcome ONE sin. Just one. I won’t pick it, you will but from the list we have or will be studying next week - Ungratefulness, Anxiety/Anxiousness, Frustration/Discontentment.If one of these sins doesn’t ‘jump’ out at you, it is probably seems ‘so normal’ to you that ‘you don’t think twice’ about feeling the pain of it or expressing it in some ungodly way... What do I mean?Maybe you have developed your own ‘tit for tat’ kind of game with it.Or.. Maybe you explain your sin away by believing ‘it comes with the territory’ or ‘is normal/expected under these conditions’ or ‘you are really handling it pretty well compared to…’Or maybe you aren’t doing so well…maybe you are being pummeled by it, like a child who is battered by a tormenting bully. And, that’s not a bad analogy for sin is it?The sins Jerry Bridges describes are like bullies of life who seek out our weak spots, our vulnerabilities and create havoc in our lives.
