If I Were the Devil: Seeing Through the Enemy's Smokescreen: Contemporary Challenges Facing Adventism - Softcover
Synopsis
In some parts of the world it seems the Seventh-day Adventist Church is in danger of settling down into a social club. That is, unless it remembers its mission.
With growing secularization, disorientation, and institutionalism, how can the church maintain its identity? How is the church to function considering it was founded on the belief that time is short--yet time keeps going on?
George Knight tackles these and other tough questions in this shining collection of articles, speeches, and papers. Including the courageous speech "If I Were the Devil," presented at the 2000 General Conference session, this book is an insightful look at Adventism's mission, structure, and contemporary challenges.
Not just for church administrators and academics--this is a call to duty to all church members, a call to become a church alive with passion and purpose. Let these pages reinvigorate you with fresh thoughts about the Adventist mission and how to accomplish it. Because the world doesn't need another social club. It needs to hear God's message.
