The vision cannot be simply for a restoration of churches and Christian institutions to their former states of strength. That is to mistake means for ends.

Little did I know that, all along, God had been actively pursuing me and calling me to Himself. That book of yours helped me to grasp who Jesus really is, what He really did, and what it actually meant for me. I came to realize that there was not only a different God out there than I had constructed for myself, but that there was also plenty of good evidence to consider the claims of Christianity as sound.
Christians in every society must use their wisdom in how to apply the Bible carefully, allowing others to come to different conclusions and use different approaches—all of which are based on biblical inspiration, but none of which comes with absolute biblical warrant. How freeing is it for the church that we can agree on the moral imperatives, but have a healthy (and even heated!) debate over the application of those morals in culture?
Whether it is washing dishes or building spaceships, we have the image of God in us as ones who bring order out of chaos and call it good.

With the publication The Creator in You, this message has been clearly and attractively presented to children.
