The Message and the Mission

What is the true purpose of the church in today's world? Does secularism possess the same appeal as it did in its initial emergence as an alternative worldview? How should we handle internal and external controversies as disciples of Christ? What is the nature of true religious liberty? Is the gospel of Jesus Christ truly "the power of God to salvation?" How can we share Jesus with searching, anxious and marginalized people, even while going about the mundane activities of everyday life? In The Message and the Mission, Don West explores these and many other matters which, in one way or another, have some bearing upon our Christian experience and witness. Each chapter conveys his firm conviction that Jesus Christ and His unchanging truth constitute the only dependable Source of guidance, hope and light in an increasingly dark and confused age. Fidelity to this Truth brings lasting liberty and will culminate in the ultimate deliverance.
