The Death and Resurrection of the Church

I am pretty excited about this newest book. It is my longest one yet, coming in at 140 pages, and it contains some of the essential ideas about church which have formed my theology and practice regarding church.

The Satanic Church

I believe that in many ways, the church has adopted satanic values and goals. These goals were first offered to Jesus before He began His public ministry in Israel (read Luke 4), but Jesus saw through the temptation of the devil, and rejected the values and goals. Yet about 300 years later, the devil once again offered these values and goals to the church, and we gladly accepted them.

We believed that we could use the power, wealth, and prestige that came with the goals to help us accomplish God’s mission in the world.

We were wrong. Terribly wrong.

We cannot use the weapons of the enemy to defeat the enemy, for they answer only to him.

Yet we still try. For 1700 years we have been trying to use the gifts of Satan to accomplish the will of God on earth, but the more we try, the more enslaved we become. We cannot live like Jesus in this world when we have adopted the values and goals of Satan.

There is only one way out of this enslavement:

The Church Must Die
