Based on the violence and self-centeredness that now characterizes American culture, America is clearly in need of a renaissance of the human spirit. Author Bobby E. Mills, Ph.D. believes the Christian church must become the godly vehicle of this renaissance. Therefore, he says, let the church be the church - be the bride of Jesus Christ as God intended. Put simply, the twenty-first century gospel of material prosperity over spiritual prosperity, as proclaimed by some pastoral leaders, has no place in the Christian church. This materialistic perspective has shaken the very foundation of the church - the same church against which Jesus proclaimed that the very gates of hell shall not prevail. The goal of this book is to help reconnect institutional Christianity to the spirit of servant leadership exemplified by Jesus Christ, thereby reestablishing His church, not Pastor Jo Mo Blow's church. After all, the Christian church is not just a building. "The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands" (Acts 17: 24-26). Yet, the institutional church is often full of pomp, circumstances, and emotionalism, while lacking the love, grace and service of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul declared, "We fight not against flesh and blood, but principalities and the rulers of darkness in high places". The price tag on righteousness may be high, but the price tag on unrighteousness is even higher.. Signed by Author. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
