Synopsis

"Remember what you have been taught and have heard. Hold firmly to it. Turn away from your sins. If you don't wake up, I will come like a thief. You won't know when I will come to you." Revelation 3:3
Dear Church - Wake up!! The midnight hour for believers in Jesus Christ is almost here! A lot of the Christian Church today appears asleep and all comfy cosy. But a time is coming when they will need to be the people that God has truly called them to be. Paul when writing to his young friend Timothy described people in the last days as lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power.
The issues we look at inside certainly covers that description by the Apostle Paul. Inside we will look at issues for the modern Christian. Issues which signify that parts of the Church are currently asleep and need to be awoken from their slumber. Are you ready? Are you aware of any of them in the life of the Church, including yourself? For instance, what is your relationship with your Government? What should your attitude and relationship with them be like?
The 12 issues we look at together are: Chocolate Church; Government; Guidance; Individualism; Materialism; Radical Church; Self Interest; Standing Alone; Times of Trouble; Universalism; Words; Worship

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

I was born in a small country town about 300 miles north west of Sydney in Australia. I was raised to be a sceptic cum agnostic cum atheist with the words "Churches are dangerous places" and this is like 30 years before Dawkins and his ilk uttered the words! So coming into my teenage years in the eighties, I decided if they are so dangerous, let's go for a bit of danger! So I rebelled, became a Christian and started attending a local Christian youth group. After a bit, it was thought by my family that I was being brainwashed, so I was stopped from going for a couple of years, until I met somebody who I used to go to school with who invited me to her church, and I restarted from there... As to how I came to the UK! Well, I came here from Australia for 6 months travel around Europe! Or so I thought! That was in 1990! I view it as God having a sense of humour. He knows I don't like rain, cold and in particular - together! He has even given me the most beautiful of women as a wife but she doesn't like hot weather! God sure has a sense of humour! In 2003, I had a minor stroke and I view that as God giving me a clip round the ear to stop being stubborn and to listen to Him for direction. So instead of moving north with my job at Royal Mail, I took redundancy and went off to Moorlands college where I graduated in 2007. I set up Partakers in 2007 and I established PulpTheology as a branch of Partakers in order that the books are cheap to purchase, quickly published to a great standard and hopefully written simply & clearly in order to help people engage with theology by using both words and image. I currently reside in Bournemouth, travel frequently to speak in about places including the USA and Australia. I have a podcasting site and we have had about 3,500,000 unique visitors so far and about 4,000,000 downloads. I also engage with church online using Facebook, and we are able to go an experience of church primarily to those who are unable to get to church, usually because of health and disability issues.
