The Rise of Christ

Rodney stark gives us a picture in the rise of christianity. How they took jesus teachings and lived them out, he says. And it seems me that the early church embodied the teachings of jesus in a way that we are failing to, failing to. The reason we need this, we need to understand god's vision of righteousness. If we don't have that, we will fall prey to whoever happens to seize the cultural microphone in the moment... We live with shifting values rather than kingdom virtues.
