Thy Will Be Done On Earth is for those
who are serious about living life in a way that pleases God. Professional
athletes spend far more time practicing the fundamentals than amateurs.
Likewise, great musicians spend countless hours practicing the basics. Serious
Christians choose to understand and work on the most important Christian
disciplines.
Through
the development of two graphic models the author provides insights regarding the
interrelationship of fundamentals of the Christian faith.
The "Christian Life Model" portrays the life of a disciple through the
interrelationship of prayer, the Word of God, obedience, fellowship,
witnessing, and intimacy with God. The result is a life which emits the
fragrance of Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14). This model is about victorious
Christian living. Included in this section are the author’s detailed acrostics
for fellowship, obedience, power, prayer, witness, and the Word.
The "Christian Guidance Model" shows the interrelationship of the Christian Life
Model and one’s inner conviction, Godly counsel, and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. All of this is shown against the setting of natural
abilities and spiritual gifts, as well as opportunities and circumstances. The
final result is a disciple who has morphed into one of Christ's jewels (Malachi
3:17). The model provides a clear path to effective decision-making which
pleases God.
In
summary, this book enables the reader to more fully obey the command of
Ephesians 5:17 – "Do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will
is."
As
part of the "Christian Concepts Series" by international award-winning author
Robert Lloyd Russell, Thy Will Be Done On
Earth is made up of short chapters, each followed by a "Think and Grow" section. The
series is great for people on the go, for
individual devotional study, and as the text in group study. The intent of the
series is to assist the reader in the quest for a deeper living theology and
dynamic discipleship as timeless truths are presented with a contemporary
perspective while maintaining the integrity of the Word of God.
