Os Guiness understands the heart of the problem the church faces today.
“…an unprecedented Christian pursuit of relevance has led directly to an unprecedented Christian irrelevance”
The irony is astounding. The Church today wants nothing more than to be relevant to the culture. Many in the church feel relevance is the only way to reach the culture with the gospel. Guiness says this pursuit of relevance is precisely the reason the Christian church today has never been more irrelevant.

There is more grace in God than sin in us.
VERSE OF THE DAY
A COUPLE'S PRAYER
O God, our Heavenly Father, protect and bless us.
Deepen and strengthen our love for each other day by day. Grant that by Your mercy neither of us ever say one unkind word to the other. In Your grace we ask that You forgive and correct our faults. Should one of us unconsciously hurt the other, grant us the strength and courage to constantly forgive. Make us and keep us sound and well in body, alert in mind, tender in heart, and devout in spirit. O Lord, grant us each to rise to the other's best. Then we pray, Lord, that You add to our lives the virtues that only You can give. And so, Gracious Father, consecrate our life and our love completely to Your glory, and to the service of all about us, especially those whom You have appointed us to serve, that we may always stand before You in happiness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
