One Ekklesia: The Vision and Practice of God's Eternal Purpose

Over the last 2,000 years, the faith of Jesus Christ has had a profound and undeniable impact on the world, especially the West. Immediately following the outburst of this faith came the "church." The Church of Christianity as is known for the last 1700 years, has been a source of both enlightenment with the organized spread of the gospel and good works, but also has been a source of confusion, devastation, greed, power struggle, manipulation, and control. What if the so-called "church" is not what God is after at all? What if Christians have spent so much time and energy in building and organizing outside of His eternal purpose? It is a fact the Church in the West has been in decline over the last 50 years--that decline is accelerating. Christians are not leaving their faith in Jesus Christ; rather, they are leaving "church." The followers of Jesus are not actually hungering for a better church, but for the Lord's eternal purpose. Though not church, it is living fellowship, relationship, community with diverse believers within the Trinity brought into the experience of the One Body of Christ. The Lord Jesus said: I will build my ekklesia (Matt 16:18). It has been a conspiracy of Satanic proportion where Christians have been tricked into thinking what the Lord wants is "church." ONE EKKLESIA is not condemning the churches of today, but it's bringing a completely new perspective relating to the One Body of believers God is building. The time has come for a much-overdue work on ecclesiology. By tackling biblical passages concerning God's eternal purpose through illuminating exegesis of Scriptures, ONE EKKLESIA unveils a fresh, inspiring and motivating vision. Simultaneously, a radical approach is revealed to make this vision practical from day to day for every single believer no matter their station in life. ONE EKKLESIA is not about how to improve your church, leave your church, or to start a better church. Rather, its vision and practice is to fulfill the Lord's prayer for His people (whether attending church or not) to be ONE so the world will believe. It is a practical oneness of diverse believers impacting the world. This will ignite the holy fire of God spreading uncontrollably . . . the next and final revival. Each chapter of ONE EKKLESIA is impactful--you will not want to put this book down! Those who have reviewed its contents are not only numerous--they are entrenched in the evangelization of the world in vibrant evangelical commitment to the Eternal Life, Truth of Scripture, and the Glory of His Service. This is a clarion call for radical Christianity which turned the world upside down in the First Century! This is NOT a text on ecumenism where truth is compromised for a superficial unity - no, this is the work of the Spirit in the hearts and lives of those committed to following the Lamb of God and being the answer to our Lord's prayer in John 17: THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE . . . that the world may be believe the Father sent the Son!
