MAN AND THE NEW CREATION (ePub)

Every day, I move about with a sense of indebtedness (and sometimes guilt) to my generation, especially the younger ones.

In the past few years, there has been a compelling force to leave something behind for my generation. My heart bleeds to see the systematic erosion of the foundational truths of the Gospel. Liberal Gospel, comedy and all forms of en- tertainment are taking over some church services. This is done in a bid to keep the youth in Church.

The Church seems to have been brought to the state of that widow in 2 kings whose two sons the creditors threatened to take. Like this widow, the Church seems not to have sufficient 'oil' to meet the demands of modernization while on the other hand there is more than enough in the 'New Creation' to not only meet the demands posed by the world system but to conquer it and make it our slave.

Again, the 'New Creation' is one course I have taught in our Discipleship and Mission Exposure programs without any solid material for follow-up. Students will find in this book a rich store to nourish their souls and to relive what they had been taught in the class.

For Christians and ministers of the Gospel, this book exposes and explores the manual of the new creation man which will help them live victoriously and equip them to disciple today's generation for Christ.
