A Once Mighty Faith

A Once Mighty Faith

You likely have not heard of John NoÄ“, but once you read this book you will not forget him. John has captured the central teaching of Jesus like no others have. It is provocative, eye-opening, inspiring, and deeply biblical. Even if you don't agree with him at times, you will find yourself motivated to engage yourself and your church in the great world-altering Kingdom of God! Yes, we can change the world in Jesus' name!
- Dave Rodriguez, Senior Pastor, Grace Church, Noblesville, IN

What we are witnessing in America, North America, and Western Europe, especially, is the decline of a civilization. Sadly, most churches therein are oblivious to this decline and/or unable, unwilling, and incapable of doing anything about it. Why so? Because we have lost the central teaching of Jesus and our kingdom orientation.

The kingdom of God is the most important and all-encompassing concept of Scripture. So much is contained within it! The kingdom was also the reason Jesus was killed. Today, sad to say, the kingdom is one of the most misunderstood, misconstrued, marginalized, confused, abstracted, abused, contested, and ignored realities of Christianity. And we are reaping mighty consequences.

Today most churches rarely mention the kingdom, let alone preach, teach, obey, and practice its established reality and intrinsic elements. For centuries, even theologians have been divided over its time of arrival and nature. All this confusion and confounding differences have led to a number of conflicting beliefs, behaviors, and avoidance practices that have no foundation in the Bible. And yet, they have long held sway over countless Christians.

The fact now is, the concept of the kingdom of God--the central teaching of Jesus Christ--has become corrupted and doctrinally written out of the faith by the traditions of men. Consequently, our "once mighty faith" termed Christianity is now characterized as having been "tamed." Ironically, this taming was not the result of outside opposing forces. Rather, it's the product of sabotage, neglect, and ignorance from within. Again, we inhabitants of planet Earth are paying a huge and dreadful price for this deficiency.
