Knowing Our Times
In this short book, John Stevens helps us to interpret the times we are living in – both inside and outside the church.
Knowing Our Times was given out to attendees at the FIEC Leaders’ Conference in November 2017.
This work was originally written for the Affinity Theological Study Conference. In it, John Stevens suggests ways that gospel workers can understand the culture we live in to help our ministry become more effective.
John argues that we should follow the apostolic flexibility in 1 Corinthians 9 and become “all things to all people so as to win some.” While we should never capitulate to the culture, neither should we put up any barrier that prevents people from hearing about Christ.
This book is now out of print.
