Matter to the Mission!: The Gatekeeper's Cause - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

You don’t have to look very far to see that the world is rapidly gathering speed in its trek to a very hot place in the proverbial handbasket. You see it in marriages and families. You see it in culture and our country. You see it everywhere. At every turn, it seems like God is losing ground and Satan is winning.How did our culture come to this? Why is that that everything we care about is being diminished? Destroyed. Simple. We let it. The church fell asleep at the wheel. Decades ago, the 1st world church in America decided to cut itself off from culture. We released the reigns of leadership, abdicating that role to those who don’t share the values found in Scripture. When such forces lead, what else would we expect but to lose ground? And the longer it goes on, the more it seems that the church throws up its hands in defeat. After all, what can so few do against such power?Really?You don't buy it either, do you?. You're hearing a different call. Something is changing. You hear the call to matter, and you want to. You hear the call to make a difference, and you want to. You hear the call to walk in the power of God, and you want to. And you know deep down that you weren’t called to mediocrity. You were called to magnificence.That’s the Spirit calling you to come alive! God is calling us all to once again matter to his mission! God is calling for what may be one last movement of his people to take back this world from an enemy bent on its destruction.Take it back? How?Matter to the Mission is written to answer that question. It is written to show that it is time for the church to come back to life and leadership, pulling those around us, those we care about, out of that horrible handbasket heading to hell. But, this isn’t about a top-down approach to conquest over evil where only the rock stars of religion matter.It is about you and me.It is about a ground game made of up each of us conducting ourselves for God’s good in our own gates of influence and responsibility. Gates? You know, your marriage, your family, your job, your hobby. Anywhere you have responsibility, influence or authority. You and I are Gatekeepers that can still matter to the mission. In fact, that is our cause. Each of us can walk in the kind of dynamic power that confirms the Word of God to a world made skeptical by a 1st world church long divorced of that power in favor of reason-trumps-all-but-convinces-few religion.Pastor, author, politician, businessman, husband, father and friend, Doug McAllister lays out the cause of Gatekeepers, the case for the mission and how each of us can matter. This is no work of powerless theory. It is based on frontline battlefield experiences in a variety of gates and a conviction that the Word of a Jesus that is the same yesterday, today and forever still means what it says, Matter to the Mission will show you God’s plan for conquest that will lead you to become more than a conqueror in every gate of your life and lead you into your God-given destiny.No matter how good or bad your past, the best days are ahead for those who heed the call to Matter to the Mission!
