“The Apostle Paul lamented the religious people of his day who were zealous for God, but whose zeal was actually leading them astray because it was founded on ignorance rather than knowledge. In much the same way, many Christians today love an idea of the church, but an idea that is wrong because it is not founded on truth. These excellent resources will grow your love for the church because they will grow your knowledge of the church—her nature, her authority, her purpose, and her worship. They will give you the knowledge you may lack, the knowledge you need, to understand why the church is central to God’s purposes in the world and, therefore, central to the Christian life.”
