Above All: The Gospel Is the Source of the Church’s Renewal
Is gospel Christianity dead?<BR />  <BR /> Pundits are writing the obituary of historic, orthodox Christianity, but pastor and author J. D. Greear (<I>Gospel, Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart</I>) believes the postmortems are premature. Jesus promised to build his church. He said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. The church is not going away.<BR />  <BR /> Along with this promise, Jesus gave clear instructions for how the church would prevail. He promised to build it on the rock of the gospel.<BR />  <BR /> The most pressing need for Christianity today is not a new strategy. It is not an updated message. It is a return to keeping the gospel above all.<BR />  <BR /> Â
