Overview

“Can’t I be a Christian and not go to or be part of a church?” “I believe in Jesus, but I don’t like ‘organized’ religion.” These are common thoughts regarding the place the church has in the life of some believers. Popular pastor, speaker, and radio host Tony Evans believes fervently in the centrality and significance of the Christian church. His basic thesis is that the church is the continuation of Christ’s incarnation. We are the “body” with a job to do!

“Corporate worship is the collective celebration of God for who He is, what He has done, and what we are trusting Him to do.” (Page 96)

“This is where the church comes in, because the church is the most important institution on earth. The church, and only the church, has been commissioned by the sovereign Lord to be His representative agency in history. It has been given sole authority to unlock the treasures of the spiritual realm so that they can be brought to bear on the realities of earth.” (Page 16)

“God designed the church to be the epicenter of culture, and the church’s strength or weakness is a major determining factor in the success or failure of human civilization.” (Page 16)

“The church should be like a hospital nursery in which you hear the sound of new babies crying to be fed and eager to grow.” (Page 59)
