Читать книгу Abba's Own - David R. Lumsden - Страница 10

Many churches today want to be attractive and relevant. They offer a buffetof programs and events designed to help people spiritually. They work diligently on marketing campaigns and catchy slogans togain a larger following. What the church needs most is a clear understanding of and commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And that accurate understanding only comes from the Scriptures.

In David R. Lumsden’s book, ABBA’S OWN, the reader is equipped to share the Gospel accurately by understanding it theologically. Christ has called His followers to “make disciples of all the nations”(Matt 28:19). But how can the church fulfill this mission if its understanding is foggy? This book gives the Scriptural foundation and practical encouragement to declare God’s life-saving truth. It is the truth that sets us free(John 8:32).

David Lumsden is careful to “rightly divide the word of truth,”(2 Tim 2:15), since only the accurate knowledge of Scripture can lead us to salvation, (2 Tim 3:15). This book will help educate laity, church leaders, and soul-winners in evaluating their direction and focus, and it will assist every Christian to better handle the Scriptures in sharing the Good News to others.

Since every Christian is given the mission to “make disciples”(Matt 28:19) and “preach the gospel,”(Mark 16:15), we need a clear understanding of this message from the Scriptures. That is what David Lumsden does in this book. You will find the content helpful and thoroughly biblical. There are many things that the church can do, but accurately sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is what it must do, and this high quality book will help you on this mission.
