Book Cover & Preview Text
A subtle influence occurs when church members ignore the fundamental teachings about what it means to follow Christ. This does not imply they are spiritual "failures." It means the mirror they are looking in is very smoky. The law is still relevant. It points us to the cross. The mirror of the law helps us look at where our heart is in relationship with God, and the boundries of God's law keep us in line. If this is not the case, the church is nothing more than an institution. It becomes a religious organization that makes "members" not disciples.

About the Book
This author combines the Ten Commandments and how they affect the purpose of God’s plan for making Disciples. Social issues and a congregation’s lack of mission contribute to a weak and ineffective ministry. They are missing God’s specific plan found in the Great Commission. The malady or illness of a church can be cured by two things, God’s law, and the Gospel.
This author brings focus to both cures throughout the book. His focus is to stir up the Christian church, one believer at a time.
