Transform Belief Into Behavior

Is getting close to God the most important goal for Christians? Does God want us to focus our entire attention on Him? This book underscores the important answer to those questions: Christianity is much more than worship or concern for God's blessing or approval; it is about people making this world a better place. God's agenda is to lead humanity to more beautiful, enjoyable and healthier lives. Christians must be alerted to the awareness that people's contributions, their inventions and creations are evidence of God's goodness and love for humanity. Their lives are partnerships with Jesus in expressing loving-kindness every day, in very way imaginable.

- Living as a Christian should mean more than simply possessing a ticket to heaven; more than simply guaranteeing a heavenly future.
- Belief is not a cognitive process alone, nor is it just holding the Lord Jesus lovingly in one's heart. It is a way of life--belief is wrapped up in behavior. Behavior is enormous.
- Jesus' words 'Go and do likewise'' was about behavior. Behavior, wrapped in love, is at the heart of Jesus' spirit.
- Sunday is about brightening the world by our daily lives throughout the week.
- Our vision for this must include strangers, the un-churched, and the 'other-churched'.
