The Gospel According to Christ

Theology

“After reading Mark Stelter's book, you will read the Gospels with a whole new understanding and perspective. You will see Jesus for who He really is as He claimed to be. Writing with the passion and conviction of the Apostle Paul to the infant churches of the New Testament era, Stelter confronts the church today with the subtlety of a secular gospel that presents a different Jesus and a different gospel than the one clearly presented in the scriptures. "I challenge you to explore the following pages with an open mind. Take off the cultural glasses that so often blur your image and refocus on the glory of Christ and the wonder of His message. He didn't come to offer us a better life. He came to offer us eternal life. For the past seventeen years, I have proclaimed that message as Pastor of Woodlands Church. I never cease to be amazed at the power of the gospel that still changes lives. It's a power beyond us. If willpower worked, we wouldn't need God's power. By His own design, Jesus knew that what He taught would require His power to accomplish. That's what gives the Christian faith its vitality. It's Christ in you that makes the difference.”
