Beyond The Intention Of Jesus

Beyond the Intention of Jesus is a sequel to The Intention of Jesus. The Intention concerns Jesus' purpose for both His coming and His church; Beyond the Intention shows how the church has gone beyond what Jesus intended and built up institutions of her own. John wrote, "If anyone does not continue in the teaching of Christ but goes beyond it he cannot have God with him." (II John 9) The front cover of the first book depicts an early morning sunrise in spring with green fields and trees, symbolizing Jesus' coming into our world to carry out His intention. The cover on this book shows an autumn scene in which the harvest is passing, indicating that opportunities pass with seasons. The modern church is in much the same condition Judah was when her time was running out and Jeremiah said, "The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved." (Jer. 8:20) And the modern church, like ancient Judah, has missed her opportunity by ignoring Jesus' teaching, thwarting His intention and formulating a theology of her own. The subtitle of this book tells it all. Christians should be well informed about Apostasy, Modernism, Liberation Theology and the Modern Church. They should not rush out to follow those who have run ahead of them to pipe an enchanting tune. This is a serious book that had to be written and ought to be read by all who intend to carry out Jesus' intention-and those who don't. It will help you to see the church as it is and as it was meant to be.Williams, Lacy is the author of 'Beyond The Intention Of Jesus', published 2004 under ISBN 9781414101712 and ISBN 1414101716.
