Description
Radiant and Resolute explores what the
Bible says the church is like in the end times when Jesus returns and then asks
what the church can do now to be ready.
With signs
of the end times in evidence like never before, Jesus' return may not be that
far off. While the time is not known, it is evident that God has a clear plan
to make the church a beautiful bride for Jesus, and Radiant and Resolute
challenges us to ask what the church should be doing now to be
prepared.
William Porter believes that the church will need
to be resolute during the time of great turmoil ahead but also radiant because
Scripture promises great revival. Combining eschatological thought with
pastoral application, this vision is unpacked through four main areas:
life in the end times; the church as the bride of Christ; seven marks of the
end-time church; and preparing for the end time.
Useful for
anyone interested in exploring what the Bible says about the end times, Radiant
and Resolute will be particularly relevant for those either leading churches or
watching and praying over the signs of the times. Although painting a dramatic
picture of times ahead, this is ultimately a hopeful vision of the Lord helping
his church to become his radiant bride.
If the church is truly to be the radiant and resolute
bride of Christ is she ready?
Includes a foreword by R.T.
Kendall.
Radiant and Resolute will help
you:
Gain an understanding of the church from a
biblical end-times perspective
Discover a scriptural and
pastoral understanding of eschatology
Gain a clearer
understanding of the bride of Christ imagery
Pivot your
discipleship and church life for the future
