THE FOREWORD by Rick Warren
A second reformation has begun in the church — one that will alter history just as much as the first Reformation did. This time, however, the epicenter for defending the truth is in Africa, not Europe. Men with great names such as Kolini, Orumbi, Rucyahana, Akinola, and others, along with Asian names such as Yong and Tay, are courageously leading the way. Each of these men is a personal friend of mine, and I have observed their integrity, compassion, commitment to Christ, and wisdom at close range. What is the battle? First and foremost, it is a courageous stand for truth — for the unchangeable authority of God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, and for the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and our Savior and Lord. In a world that is increasingly turning from orthodoxy to rapid relativism, some church leaders are walking away from “the faith once delivered to the saints.” Their immorality has poisoned their theology. God warns us to separate ourselves from those who claim the name of Christ but refuse to obey him. “They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!” (2 Tim. 3:4–5 nlt). This powerful book is a behind-the-scenes account of the tragic decline and slide into heresy of much of the American Episcopal Church, along with the ascendancy of the Anglican Church in Africa. Read it, learn from it, and take a stand where you need to stand for truth in your life.
