BRIDGE The EVANGELICAL DIVIDE Jr Robert P Harris

At the break of dawn in the 15th Century the church went through an Evangelical upheaval, perhaps the greatest evangelical event of all time. On October 31, 1517, a little known German Professor of Theology, Martin Luther nailed the now famous 95 Theses on the door of Wittenberg's Castle Church, ushering the greatest reformation in church history. Martin Luther's burning desire was to save man's 'lostness.' Little did he know that he'd birthed an Evangelical movement that would transcend church history. Martin Luther's Evangelical DNA has been passed down through generations. It has transformed monarchs, created empires, changed countries, and birthed our great Nation the United States of America. It has straddled continents, altered history, broken barriers and rekindled love in the hearts of men. This book is about Evangelicals. It is about the church's true mission on earth - to proclaim the good news to all people, to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to humanity - It is a mission hijacked by secularism, sectarianism, and bigotry. Perhaps, in the history of our Nation the Church is at crossroads. Digitalized nomads, an insidious wave of Eastern religions, New agers, Atheism and Political correctness have unified to quench the Evangelical Spirit that birthed this great Nation. 'Bridge the Evangelical Divide' is a rallying call to Evangelicals of all colors, political affiliations, diverse socialization and secularized backgrounds to coalesce and awaken, to re unite and pursue the true calling of Evangelicalism. In this book, Rev. Robert P. Harris Jr. Senior Pastor of First Missionary Baptist Church Clarksville Tennessee fearlessly lays bare what went wrong with Evangelicals. He explores why mosaics troop out of church never to come back. He addresses the church's political role as the people's voice in times of crises. He looks at why Evangelicals should be nonpartisan, unprejudiced and focused on the Evangelical calling. He concludes the book by pointing out why saving man's 'lostness' and not the furor of 'political correctness' is the only Evangelical message that will echo in the annuls of history.
