Top Highlights
“The underlying premise of this book is that God wills that His people here on earth take dominion of the society in which we live, promoting the values, blessings and prosperity of His kingdom for everyone.” (Page 8)
“Teachers research and expound the logos, prophets bring the rhema, and apostles put it together and point the direction into the future.” (Page 63)
“Reformation is built. Martin Luther set in place the final” (Page 27)
“Obviously, right now we all find ourselves on earth—not yet in heaven. Consequently, we must follow certain earthly rules if we are going to change our society for the good. A starting point is to recognize what many of us have been calling the seven mountains, which are the supreme molders of culture. These are religion, family, education, media, government, arts and entertainment, and business. For a given society to change, each one of the seven mountains needs to be influenced, or dominated, by persons of goodwill, whether Christians or non-Christians. This is a positive way of looking at dominionism.” (Page 11)
“Jesus, of course, founded the church, but at His ascension He delegated the operational nuts and bolts for the future growth of the church to apostles and prophets. He remains as the cornerstone. The cornerstone is not the foundation per se, but it is the unit that holds the foundation together. The foundation is apostles and prophets. It could be argued that churches without apostles and prophets rest on a faulty foundation.” (Page 30)
