The Church in God's Program 1972 FREE Shipping

" THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF HISTORY, God has worked in the
world in a variety of ways through individuals, nations,
and peoples. The focus of His present work is the church.
That which was begun in the Scriptures, as men and women
were called to acknowledge the Lordship of Christ, continues
today in fulfillment of Christ's promise to build His church.
Not only is Christ building His church, but it is the primary
instrument through which He ministers in the world. As Christ was
sent by the Father, so the church bears the ambassadorial role for
its Lord as sent ones with a message of reconciliation to
the world (Jn 20:21) "
