O knihe

The Church is at the third and perhaps final leg of its journey. As nations undergo development, the churches of the nations that become developed relapse into complacency and lukewarmness thereby compromising their Christian faith while those of developing nations remain significantly rigid and at the extreme. As a result, the centre of Church unity gave way and individuals resorted to self-help and define Christian faith by what seems right or wrong in their opinion. Painfully, many Christians no longer remember the object of their faith, which is, to influence others with the virtue of Christ. Those dedicated to service have become the subject of persecution. Although persecution aims at discouraging the faithfuls from professing and practising their faith, it helps in the spread of Christianity and keeps the church spiritually strong and healthy, how then can one describe a situation where it is the Church that persecutes the faithfuls? Regrettably, many churches are altering their creed to accommodate the new communities of unrepentant believers and replacing faithfuls with reprobates; they smuggle materialism into the Church and are raising hybrid of materialistic Christians. In docility, the Church has jettisoned the Christian mission for the pursuit of material wealth and is breeding a completely new generation of "Very Shallow and Ignorant Christians", who are lacking in the basic values of the Christian faith. No wonder, when they prophecy, it no longer comes to pass. The Church: In the beginning it was not so, is the history of Christianity and the Church, which aims to build a strong base of Christian faith in individual Christians and the Church in general.
