One Church Under God: His Rule Over Your Ministry

The church has been established as that place where the values of eternity operate in history.

It is a place where weary people can go to find truth, acceptance, freedom, forgiveness and hope. Operating in the world while being a model for the world, it offers an alternative to the world. God has so positioned and postured this unique body of Christ as a community of individuals spiritually linked together with the primary purpose of reflecting and legislating the values of His kingdom.

In One Church Under God, Dr. Tony Evans explores the purpose, Person, presence, people, power and proclamation of the church in order to equip believers to fully live out the great commission of Christ. This booklet is a part of the Life under God series, a 5-book series adapted from the 5 sections found in The Kingdom Agenda, the legacy work of Dr. Tony Evans. This booklet is based on the “One Church under God” section.

All across America, people go to church every Sunday, many just to check it off their “to-do” lists before doing it again the following week. Additionally, many of our churches have mistakenly taken on the personality and values of our culture rather than remaining loyal to God’s kingdom agenda.

Is it any wonder why the church is lacking influence and power in the community and abroad?

Dr. Tony Evans is passionate about the church regaining its rightful and powerful place under God’s authority. In One Church Under God, he paints a clear picture of the biblical church and its role in society. The church is to be an alternative model for the world, a community functioning under the rule of God on earth. It is to present to the broader culture a working illustration of God’s solutions to the problems we face. When the church is empowered by the Spirit and kingdom minded, then we will be the church Christ came to build.
