Eight Keys To Eden

1 One minute after the regular report call from the planet Eden was overdue, the communications operator summoned his supervisor. His finger hesitated over the key reluctantly, then he gritted his teeth and pressed it down. The supervisor came boiling out of his cubicle, half-running down the long aisle between the forty operators hunched over their panels."What is it? What is it?" he quarreled, even before he came to a stop."Eden's due. Overdue." The operator tried to make it laconic, but it came out sullen.The supervisor rubbed his forehead with his knuckles and punched irritably at some buttons on an astrocalculator. An up-to-the-second star map lit up the big screen at the end of the room. He didn't expect there to be any occlusions to interfere with the communications channel. The astrophysicists didn't set up reporting schedules to include such blunders. But he had to check.

What is there about a dying church that brings glory to God? Mark Clifton's convicting answer is "Nothing." Because a local church is intended to represent the work of God in a community, when that church "loses it saltiness," not only is God's work pictured as irrelevant in that community, but also dishonor and disrepute may well become associated with God's name as a result. In Reclaiming Glory, Clifton draws not only upon his own burden for revitalizing dying churches but also upon years of church replanting experience to offer passionate counsel for how to breathe new life into a dying church . . . all for the glory of the God who is building his church upon the immovable rock of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

SEVEN DOORS TO SEVEN ROOMS OF THOUGHT1 Accept the statement of Eminent Authority without basis, without question.2 Disagree with the statement without basis, out of general contrariness.3 Perhaps the statement is true, but what if it isn't? How then to account for the phenomenon?4 How much of the statement rationalizes to suit man's purpose that he and his shall be ascendant at the center of things?5 What if the minor should become major, the recessive dominant, the obscure prevalent?6 What if the statement were reversible, that which is considered effect is really cause?7 What if the natural law perceived in one field also operates unperceived in all other phases of science? What if there be only one natural law manifesting itself, as yet, to us in many facets because we cannot apperceive the whole, of which we have gained only the most elementary glimpses, with which we can cope only at the crudest level?And are those still other doors, yet undefined,on down the corridor?
