Overview

God has a plan for your life, to be a part of divine great plan to 'renew our world' and make 'all things new' (Revelation 21:5). Mick Pope takes the reader on a journey through 'end times' theology in Revelation and elsewhere to show that the good world we live in is not destined for destruction but renewal. God is calling us to understand the state of our world theologically, to speak and act prophetically and bring the church and world to repentance, and to live hopefully. This book comes with a study guide for groups or individuals. Christians often think of heaven as a disembodied place, our final destination, and our ultimate hope. The first idea is plain wrong, and the other two, confused. How, for example, can we really engage in acts of justice if we think that this world will pass away, discarded as no longer necessary? Don't we undercut ourselves and our compassion for this world? Aren't we being inconsistent, hypocritical even? But what if 'all things new' really meant that all things will be renewed? We know in our hearts that all things need to be made new but together times think that means being scrapped and starting over, like that sketch we tear off the art pad and throw in the bin. The aim of this book is quite straightforward: to show that all things need making new, to show that 'all things' really does mean all things, to show that being made new means being renewed rather than thrown away, and to show that this work of making all things new has already begun. God's plan to renew our world is our mission.
