City on a Hill

Reclaiming the Biblical Pattern for the Church in the 21st Century
By Philip Graham Ryken

Many sincere and dedicated Christians point to the path of relevance as a means for enjoying a post-Christian witness. They want to explore new ways of "doing church" - ways that focus on seekers' needs, that appeal to today's entertainment-saturated audiences, and don't make church "too hard."

Philip Ryken, however sees danger ahead. Rather than confronting the relativistic and narcissistic mind-set of our world, this way may very well accommodate it.

In City on a Hill, Ryken asserts that the church needs to walk a different path...a biblical path that leads to exalting God and Him alone by:

• Proclaiming the saving work of our crucified and risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
• Focusing on our holy God in our personal and corporate worship.
• Reaching out in Christ's love to care for one another and share the Good News with the world.

When the church does what it was called to do, it will give the world what it needs most - the life-giving message that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord.
