True Religion: Taking Pieces of Heaven to Places of Hell on Earth
Give your life away to change this world and God will change
you…for the best.
A rising voice in the missional movement, Palmer Chinchen
challenges Christians to a new kind of spiritual formation—one
focused on pouring out our life for others and radical dependence
upon God.
When we get out of our comfort zone, our souls are
awakened—everything seems more alive and vibrant. So why don’t we
live our faith that way? Why is it that our faith can easily become
an old, tired routine instead of an exhilarating, God-honoring
lifestyle?
Discover why true religion involves engaging the problems in our world as we go with the good news of the gospel. And in the process of pouring ourselves out for others, we’ll see God radically transform our own hearts as well.
Top Highlights
“True religion is more about others and less about me. Living out true religion means I’ve stopped being so concerned about what I want and what I get, and I spend my days caring about what others don’t have and what others need. The Christian life is meant to be that way.” (source)
“The problem is that as Christians we often only teach moral knowledge. But unfortunately, moral knowledge does not always lead to moral action.” (source)
“Fear is the cord Satan uses to bind our hands and hearts, keeping us self-justified in spiritual stagnancy” (source)
“The missional church is first and foremost committed to making the name of Jesus Christ famous.” (source)
