Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Amid cultural chaos, pastors and church leaders are being pushed toward extremes: retreat from the public square-or use the coercive force of the government to stop the societal decline. Faithful Christianity in a Time of Cultural Collapse offers a third way: God's way revealed in Scripture, which is perfect-not man's way, which brings more chaos and destruction.Douglas P. Johnson argues that when the Church stops persuading, it begins grasping for power. But the Gospel advances through proclamation, repentance, and discipleship-not through state enforcement.Drawing from Scripture, history, and constitutional reality, this book distinguishes the God-ordained roles of family, church, and civil authority, showing why law can restrain external evil yet cannot create inward righteousness.This book calls believers to a coherent strategy of faithful endurance: - revive evangelism - strengthen families - train believers for endurance - engage lawfully- cooperate wisely - pray fervently If you are looking for a roadmap that restores confidence in the Church's true mission, this book is a call to courage without coercion-and obedience without guarantees.
