Why Jesus Is Calling You to a Life of Righteousness and Justice
Description of book
Is There a Divine Cure for Our Ailing Nation?In The LambÆs Agenda Samuel Rodriguez offers a blueprint for Christian rejuvenation, a prophetic call to orient our lives at the nexus of the cross.Joining the Christianity of Martin Luther King Jr. and Billy Graham, The LambÆs Agenda reveals the crucial connection between biblical social justice and spiritual righteousness. Getting back to the basics of Christianity means extending our efforts simultaneously in the vertical direction of God and the horizontal direction of our neighbors.In this critical moment, begrudging service and empty religiosity must be replaced by the vibrancy of the LambÆs agenda, ChristÆs plan of redemption in the world. A Third Great Awakening, says Rodriguez, awaits Christians who boldly and joyfully embrace both planks of the SaviorÆs cross: obedience to God and service to others.
