Lectures in Mission Of God

MOG2015 02: The book of Revelation sets forth two groups of people: those who follow the Beast and bear his mark and those who follow the Lamb and bear his name. The book declares the eternal gospel (Rev 14:6-7), which is a universal summons to follow the Lamb in true worship and salvation.

MOG2015 03: Created in God's image, man and woman are agents capable of changing the world as they undertake the task of fulfilling the cultural mandate.

MOG2015 04: Denying his Creator, man is alienated from the very source of his existence and seeks to cope by turning to idolatry in the form of addictions, money and power. But because of God's radical love at the cross, people are attracted out of the world into participation in the transforming work of God.

MOG2015 05: Joe Boot, David Robinson and Michael Nazir-Ali answer questions regarding: the Mission of God; Christian Education; Radical Islam; Christian Transformation of Society; Male and Female Roles; Climate Change from a Christian Perspective.

MOG2015 01: The fall of Adam and Eve in the garden is the essential foundation for understanding the gospel meta-story. The gospel is cosmic in scope and in the cross all creation is being restored in proper relation to its Creator and Owner.

Christ is not one authority among many, but the ruler of the kings of the earth.The Son of God appeared on earth to destroy the works of the devil, and has given us the task of cultural renewal in every area of life, including the public square.

Like a precious coin, the Lord works constantly to rescue and redeem His people, and through us, to redeem our culture and world.

We need a renewed vision of what it means to be God's people both in our vocations and the life of the church in order to fulfill his calling for us in a failing culture. We need to understand the hope which is our calling, the inheritance which is ours in Christ, and the greatness of his power that is given to us who believe.

Part of the purpose of God's redemptive activity in history is healing and wholeness for the whole person. This lecture explores the priestly calling of those in the medical profession.

If medical practitioners are going to help people to be in good health, they have to walk in the truth. The practice of healing has to be carried out in terms of God's purposes in creation and God's truth. Therefore, the philosophy by which medicine is practiced is critical.

The utopian philosophies of elitist social planners will end in disaster. Only the advancement of Christ's Kingdom can improve conditions in the world.

The last chapter of Malachi summarizes the whole of the prophetic message found in this little book.
