Kiss the Son - Stephen Smith - Bog

What is the biblical nature of the church? She is a bride whose devotion to her Bridegroom must be rediscovered as the crux of the Christian life. When this occurs, all other relationships will fall into their proper place. With clarity and deep love for the Lord Jesus and His bride, Stephen Smith offers a critical examination of the nature and practice of the church through the lens of biblical revelation. He explores some of the ineffectiveness and frustration within the church in a way that will compel and challenge you to seek the Lord afresh as the relational God that He is. Kiss the Son addresses issues such as evangelism, the church assembly, prophecy, the doctrine of "speaking life," convenience, repentance, tolerance, and the Kingdom of God. As the author says, "The merit of every aspect of Christian living can be gauged by one criterion: Is God getting what He has desired? Is He getting relationship? This question forces us to ask another. What sort of relationship does God have in mind? God has not left us without an answer."
