The Great Omission

If Jesus were in ministry today, would he be talking about the "trigger" issues that seem to dominate our pulpits? Would he be marching in the streets -- either against or in favor of -- abortion, gay rights, or repealing the death penalty? Robert Blair contends that Christ would not be politically active or overtly try to influence the government. Instead, he asserts that Jesus would preach the same simple gospel that he did 2,000 years ago. In The Great Omission, Blair makes the case that today's church leadership often sends garbled signals about the church's main purpose. He believes that the primary objective for contemporary followers of Jesus should be doing what he would do -- preaching the Good News to every person on the planet. Only by doing that can we truly glorify God. This book outlines the need for our churches to return to the biblical message, and suggests the right methods to share that message.
