a Storm a Message a Bottle

A Road Map to American Redemption

by Cary Gordon

Book Image Not Available Book Image Not Available
Overview
In far too many American churches, the Great Commission has been reduced to a moderate suggestion. The emphasis is on little more than getting people ready to die, rather than equipping them to truly live. But God intends for us to see His Kingdom come in all its fullness -not only in our homes and churches, but in our local communities, and in our nation at large. That can only happen when Christians rediscover a fundamental truth: that there is no grace without law. Only when we understand God's loving restrictions can we fully experience His freedom.
Description
In far too many American churches, the Great Commission has been reduced to a moderate suggestion. The emphasis is on little more than getting people ready to die, rather than equipping them to truly live. But God intends for us to see His Kingdom come in all its fullness -not only in our homes and churches, but in our local communities, and in our nation at large. That can only happen when Christians rediscover a fundamental truth: that there is no grace without law. Only when we understand God's loving restrictions can we fully experience His freedom. All forms of government -from the family to the federal level- need to be viewed through the lens of God's natural law. Cutting through the foggy thinking about law and liberty, Cary Gordon carefully examines what the Bible really means by grace. He explains how a proper understanding of the ways in which the old and new covenants intertwine fueled the explosive growth of the early church. Rediscovering that foundation can bring about a similar impact in today's world.
