Christianity Today, 2012, Volume 56, Numbers 1–11
Overview
Since 1956, Christianity Today has challenged the church with real-world content that is timely, compelling, insightful, balanced, and biblical. Christianity Today is a magazine that seeks to present Christ preeminent in all things, with a clear ministry emphasis via trustworthy, Bible based content. Written with journalistic excellence and professional integrity, the authors and editors of this work seek to avoid the status-quo and push themselves and the modern church to live in obedience in light of God’s revelation. Since its founding by Billy Graham, Carl Henry, and others, this publication has commented on culture and shaped debate for over fifty years. Christianity Today has worked to change those who change the world: all who are serious about wanting their lives to be used by God as a counterculture for the common good.
Top Highlights
“It means that while evangelism is essential, it cannot be done simply by delivering a message from a distant missionary compound, or setting up a new ‘program’ at church for youth. It means we are sent into the diverse cultures of the world to bear witness to Christ in a way that discloses the new, united humanity. Thus, we do need to be learners of other cultures, with patience enough to listen, be present, and display love with our actions. Yet, in contrast to ‘incarnational ministry,’ we need not pretend to ‘incarnate’ into that culture or to ‘be Jesus’ to that culture, for this displays a lack of trust in the Spirit’s work, which mediates the presence of our living, ascended Lord.” (Volume 56, Number 7, Pages 62–63)
“Unlike the often individualistic ‘incarnation’ model, ministry in union with Christ points to the final purpose of all crosscultural ministry: to participate in the Spirit’s work of creating a new humanity in Christ, in which a culturally diverse people gathers to worship the triune God.” (Volume 56, Number 7, Page 61)
