“To be elect in Christ Jesus, and there is no other election, means to be incorporated into his mission to the world, to be the bearer of God saving purpose for his whole world, to be the sign and the agent and the firstfruit of his blessed kingdom which is for all.” WorldMeanWholePurposeJesusChristElectionBlessedMissionsWhole WorldKingdomsSavingAgents Book:The Gospel in a Pluralist Society: SPCK Classic Source: The Gospel in a Pluralist Society: SPCK Classic
“I believe the message in the hymn "Rise Up, O Men of God" (Hymns, no. 324) is a plea, a call, a divine invitation for us to rise above the telestial tinsel of our time; to deny ourselves of ungodliness and clothe ourselves in the mantle of holiness; to reach and stretch and grasp for that spiritual direction and sacred empowerment promised to the Lord's agents, to those charged to act in the name of our Principal, Jesus Christ; and to point the way to salvation and deliverance and peace in a world that finds itself enshrouded in darkness, a world that yearns for spiritual leadership.” MenWorldWayBelieveSpiritualJesusNamesI BelieveChristLordDarknessDivineMessagesJesus ChristEmpowermentSacredSalvationDenyAgentsOur TimeHolinessPrincipalInvitationsRise AboveDeliveranceHymnsSpiritual DirectionMan Of GodTinselSpiritual Leadership Author:Robert L.
