How volition the church building reply?

In this short but sweeping manifesto, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller argues that this refuse should prompt us to rethink the church'southward mission from the ground up. Using the early church equally our guide, churches and individual Christians must examine ourselves, our civilization, and Scripture to work toward a new missionary meet with Western culture that will brand the gospel both bonny and credible to a new generation.

A Counterculture for
a Mail-Christian Earth

To have a missionary encounter with Western civilisation, we must:

  • Articulate a Christian high theory and apologetic

  • Ignite a truly post-Christian evangelism dynamic

  • Teach a counter-catechesis in a digital age

  • Embody true-blue presence in the public sphere

  • Implement a category-defying social agenda

  • Display grace to the point

The vision to reach the West once more is larger than any church, denomination, or even urban center. It is a call to exemplify the earth-changing, category-defying blueprint of the early church and work together to bring it to a new historic period. It is a call to show the world that the gospel truly changes everything.
