Let the Church Be the Church

This book is inspired from a series of sermons delivered by Bishop George D. McKinney, PhD., at St. Stephen’s Church of God in Christ, San Diego, California.  This writing was motivated by my deep love and concern for the sleeping giant of the world – God’s church at large.  If one soul can be awakened to the urgency of the Christian’s commission to herald the Good News in a world where hopelessness is more commonplace than hope, my heart will be made glad and the Kingdom of God will be advanced.  The walls we have erected in the Body of Christ to separate us one from the other must come down. Together, we must go and tell of Jesus and the hope He gives.  Allow this book to challenge your thinking. Contemplate your role in God’s Church and evaluate your quality of involvement and commitment to Jesus Christ.  This book is written not to the unbeliever, but to the believer. It is not to the one who evaluates with a critical eye yet exerts little effort to assist in bearing the burden. Cr
