The Center-Focus of the Heart of God

We must see the gospel in the highest terms. While the gospel is a radical new order for the world, it is nothing less than a nation saver. The gospel is a power pack for whole countries, designed to put a dynamic charge into all life.

New Age philosophy and similar beliefs have simply nothing to offer compared with the gospel. Candles may as well try to outshine the sun! The gospel is for the whole man and the whole world. The gospel is not just a road map left by the side of the road to help lonely pilgrims find their own way to heaven; it provides a solid rock foundation for our lives.

God is not a mini-God. He is the God of heaven and earth, kings and kingdoms, presidents and republics, time and eternity. He presides over the eternal destiny of us all. That does not mean that a ministry should address only parliaments or work for changes in legislation. A church is not a local chapter of any political party. That is work for Christian politicians, not for those called to declare the unsearchable riches of Christ. The apostolic commission is to reach the lost of this world, not to address environmental projects, wildlife issues or social engineering.

Jesus promised, "Anyone who has faith in me will do even greater things than I have done" (see John 14:12). That had nothing to do with healings or miracles of nature, but with the real work of God - salvation. By the grace of God we at CfaN are seeing millions of precious souls saved. That is the center-focus of the heart of God.
