The Faith

Chuck Colson teams up with Harold Fickett to deliver a provocative and much-needed message at the start of 2008 through his newly released book, The Faith. The book will answer three essential questions every Christian must understand and live, namely: what do we believe, why do we believe it, and why does it matter. I’m looking forward to reading all of it soon. Here’s a link to give you a taste: http://www.pfm.org/media/The_Faith_BookSample.pdf

Two Quotes:
“We don't need a new vision of things; rather, we need an eternal vision---to raise our eyes once again to the light that has always guided Christians during times of distress. One of the greatest truths of the Christian faith is that is life affirming and culture building.

“The challenges of anti-theism and Islam could not come at a worse time for the Church, because most Christians do not understand what they believe, why they believe it, and why it matters. How can a Christianity that is not understood be practiced? And how can it be presented in its true character as peace, freedom, and joy? How are skeptics to understand Christianity’s positive aspects?”

Thanks for the Link Lyd! I look forward to reading it soon. And I hope you buy the book and then let me borrow it . . . maybe in May or June? Good thunks. The present is daunting and the future is uncertain and frightful. May God work on behalf of His church to raise her up and cleanse her for Himself. May God give us a vision of and passion for His glory, and may He give us wisdom from His Holy Spirit to glorify and enjoy Him with everything that is in us!
