Likewise, he scoffs at consumer Christians who are simply banking on admittance to heaven as their payoff for attending church. Or worse still, those who use Christianity to advance their political agendas rather than their spiritual ones. But this is not a scolding book. Rather, Willard devotes his efforts to discussing specific and inspiring ways to develop a discipleship to Jesus--not as an act of sacrifice or even one of spiritual luxury--instead, as everyday people committed to the teachings of Christ. "The really good news for Christians is that Jesus is now taking students in the master class of life," writes Willard. "So the message of and about him is specifically a gospel for our life now, not just for dying. It is about living now as his apprentices in kingdom living, not just as consumers of his merits." <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 1211226 15 4 1998 The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life In God total:474|5:258|4:150|3:47|2:12|1:7| 474 2062 825 91 4 2 false false Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 09 05:56:54 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 18 06:26:26 -0700 2009
