The Divine Conspiracy: Chapter 2 Gospels of Sin Management (pp.55-59)

Toward the Integration of Life and Faith

"And so we have the result noted:  the resources of God's kingdom remain detached from human life.  There is no gospel for human life and Christian discipleship, just one for death or one for social action. The souls of human beings are left to shrivel and die on the plains of life because they are not introduced into the environment for which they were made, the living kingdom of eternal life."

"To counteract this we must develop a straightforward presentation, in word and life, of the reality of life now under God's rule, through reliance upon the word and person of Jesus.  In this way we can naturally become his students or apprentices.  We can learn from him how to live our lives as he would live them as if he were we. We can enter his eternal kind of life now."
