Randy Alcorn answers the question, "What do you see as the greatest need of the church today?" at a Cannon Beach Conference Center Retreat. (Includes brief comments on Brian McLaren’s books, Paul Young’s The Shack, and the need to be true to God's Word)
God will choose who reigns as kings, and I’m confident some great surprises are in store for us. Christ gives us clues in Scripture as to the type of person he will choose: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.…Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.…Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3, 5,10). Also, “‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time” (1 Peter 5:5-6).
