Vanishing Light
The Separation of the Christian Church . . . From the World
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Every bona-fide Christian will freely acknowledge that they are saved by the Grace of God, “through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the Gift of God. Not of works lest anyone should boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before ordained that we should walk in them.” (This is taken from Eph 2:8-10.) God’s Workmanship! A new Creation in Christ Jesus! Adopted by God as His own children! Privileged to call Him our Father! What a marvelous act of Grace! All glory, all praise and honor to God our Father and to the Son, the Lord our righteousness. The Apostle Peter gives a description of the people of God. I Peter 2:9, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Which in times past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” The two short epistles of Peter are informative and direct concerning the relationship of Christians to God and what manner of people we ought to be, as well as not to be. Since Christians are not of the spirit of this World, why are we left in the World?

About the Book
Vanishing Light is a thought-provoking, controversial discussion on the Christian Church and the "World" of non-Christians. In these last days, the Christian Church and the World have become blurred to the point of being scarcely distinguishable. The separation of God's people from the people of the World is clearly taught in the Bible. Jesus said, “They are not of the World, even as I am not of the World.” John 17:16 Yet, Christians have a twofold mission: to edify one another in love and also to be a light in this World; to give evidence of their faith to benefit the World. Jesus said, “Ye are the light of the World. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Matt 5:14. The author looked into how this light is vanishing from today’s world, and the consequences that this is creating. You won't want to miss this captivating, dynamic discussion.
