Description:
The early church was given a powerful mandate to do the works of Jesus and even greater works, yet over time, the church regressed and lost sight of this vision. How did this happen? Men began to draw conclusions from limited spiritual experiences and created doctrines based on their own flawed understanding. As a result, the church lost its way and became ruled by man-made doctrines rather than the Word of God.
But there is hope. By returning to the Bible as our rule of faith, we can rediscover what the reformed, organic church should look like. We are called to be a glorious, radiant light in a dark world, filled with faith, hope, and love that can bring about real change. And the power to change the world lies within each and every one of us as believers.
In this book, you will be challenged to reject man-made doctrines and pursue a more spiritual and Biblical version of Christianity. You will discover the power that lies within you as a believer, and learn how to nurture that power into maturity. With this knowledge, you can become a true agent of change in the world. So let this book inspire you to walk away from the flawed doctrines of men and embrace a more authentic and powerful version of the faith.
Review Quotes:
Thought-provoking and challenging, this manuscript opens the door for a frank and open conversation on the scriptures. It is evident that the author believes that much diligence is applicable in the search for truth, and that truth can stand the test of scrutiny and re-examination.
C. Orville is not asking you to blindly embrace his conclusions, but rather to take the journey with him using the various tools available to analyze the scriptures. He makes the clarion call that the modern-day Church needs to be committed to the model clearly outlined in scriptures, both by precept and example. He is bold in his assertions, many of which may result in a paradigm shift or present the need for further thought and research.
One cannot deny his passion to see in this era an awakening of the believer and by extension the Church. As you read, be prepared to be challenged, encouraged and edified, as you embark on this journey to see what is, the Glorious Church.
