IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WRONG – WHY CONTINUE TO TRAIN OTHERS TO DO THE SAME! The Church is not only the community of the redeemed – but also the redeeming community of the lost. We are not only commanded by our Lord and Savior, but also impelled by the indwelling Spirit of God to declare the message of God’s redeeming love and reconciliation in Jesus Christ to all peoples. I see a new apostolic generation rising in the earth today who are radically Christ centered (Acts 1:8). This Spirit-filled new wineskin will hold the new wine God is pouring out. The “new” is simply a restoration of what has been lost for 2000 years. What we need most is a renewal of the understanding, practice, and commitment to the Great Commission of the early apostolic church – of whom it was reported, “They turned the world upside down!” Many local churches are offering institutional religious substitutes. Dr. Leach argues, “Pastors, “If what you are doing is wrong (unbiblical) and you know it – why do you continue to train others to do the same?” He insists that we are trying build Christ’s Church and kingdom without Him, using man-made standards, plans and blueprints? If Christ is really the true foundation of what you are building, why can’t your instructions be found in the Letters and the Book of Acts? Displaying His love Jesus counsels, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore, be zealous and repent. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 3:19, 22).

The Book of Martyrs by John Foxe written in the 16th century has long been the go-to source for studying the lives and martyrdom of the apostles. Whilst other scholars have written individual treatments on the more prominent apostles such as Peter, Paul, John, and James, there is little published information on the other apostles. In The Fate of the Apostles, Sean McDowell offers a comprehensive, reasoned, historical analysis of the fate of the twelve disciples of Jesus along with the apostles Paul, and James. McDowell assesses the evidence for each apostle’s martyrdom as well as determining its significance to the reliability of their testimony. The question of the fate of the apostles also gets to the heart of the reliability of the kerygma: did the apostles really believe Jesus appeared to them after his death, or did they fabricate the entire story? How reliable are the resurrection accounts? The willingness of the apostles to die for their faith is a popular argument in resurrection studies and McDowell offers insightful scholarly analysis of this argument to break new ground within the spheres of New Testament studies, Church History, and apologetics.

Do we have the wrong map for the Christian life? Life's inconveniences, disappointments, and trials can leave us confused, cynical, and eventually bitter. But the apostle Paul traces out the path of dying and rising with Jesus—what Paul Miller calls the “J-Curve”—as the normal Christian life. The J-Curve maps the ups and downs of daily life onto the story of Jesus. It grounds our journeys not in some abstract idea but in union with Christ and his work of love. Understanding our lives in light of the J-Curve roots our hope, centers our love, and tethers our faith to Christ.
