Synopsis

Modern misguided evangelical empire-building at the institutional church level has systematically for the most part, attempted to replace Christianity with its own brand of organized religion. This subtle deception has taken more than 1,700 years to develop and permeate society and typical Christian thought, but develop well it has. So well, in fact, that even some of the greatest ministry personalities of our time have made the mistake of thinking that Christianity and organized religion are one and the same.but they are not. What's wrong with organized religion you say? Did you suppose that's what Christianity was all about? Did you suppose that its church building origins are biblical? And what's the fuss anyway? Does it really matter if the Lord's people are more 'organizationally" or 'institutionally" minded than they are 'relationally" minded?

The author's opinion is that Purpose dictates the correct usage of what God designs. If we want to correctly use something God has designed, we must first discover God's original intent and purpose behind the creation of His idea.

This work deals with the financial 'skeletons in the Church's closet" and goes behind the scenes for God's design for the Body of Christ known as the 'Church."

Biographie de l'auteur

Although not formally educated as a theological researcher and holder of titles Lawrence P. Vanyi counts it a blessing to not be blinded by the traditional ?old way? of seeing Scripture. This has allowed him the ability to take a fresh look at theological issues and truly allows new wine to be poured into a fresh wineskin.
