Description

God is clearly at work today. There is a cultural, political, and religious metaphorical tsunami gathering power under the surface of ordinary world events, and when it is fully released, it will turn the world as we now know it upside down. Thousands upon thousands of Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and nominal Christians become followers of Jesus Christ every day and the effects are enormous. The premises of this book are: There is a God and the belief in God is a moral and not an intellectual question. God created mankind out of his goodness as his representatives on Earth. Since God is by nature good and generous, the essence of sin is to doubt this goodness and walk away from him. God nonetheless continues to seek man in order to bless him, and he has an encompassing plan to accomplish that purpose. He began this purpose through his covenant with Abraham and is fulfilling it through Jesus Christ. Contemporary evidence of this purpose can be seen clearly in what he is doing right before us: We see it in the nation of Israel, through the growth of the church, and the persecution of the church.
