Meyer, K. (2010) Whole Life Transformation:Becoming the change your church needs. IVP
Meyer, K. (2010) Whole Life Transformation:Becoming the change your church needs. IVP
Rauschenbusch called the church to become more than just the purveyor of personal morality and spirituality. He challenged the church to deal with social ills such as racism and poverty, war and robber baron capitalism. Using the Hebrew prophets' call for justice, Hesus' sermon on the mount, the early church's experience, and reason, Rauschenbusch argued that human flourishing was intensely spiritual and Christian. 49
One of most persistent mistakes of Christian men has been to postpone social regeneration to a future era to be inaugurated by the return of Christ 49
John Climacus - The ladder of Divine Ascent.
Rauschenbusch - when a church forgets its social obligation, it soon forgets its call to transformation, becoming a ghost ship of souls waiting to be transported to a heaven that lies somewhere out there. In the meantime, it makes occasional forays into the world to try to win more souls. 95

Dear Jesus,
help us to sprewad Your fragrance everywhere we go.
Flood our souls with your spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly that our lives may only be a radiance of Yours
Shine throuugh us, and be so in us that every soul we come in contact with may feel your presence in our souls.
Let them look up and see no longer us, but onbly Jesus!
Stay with usd, and then we shall shine as you shine;so to shine as to be a light to others.
The light, O Jesus will be all from you, none of it will be ours; it will be You shining on others through us .
Let us preach You without preaching, not by words but by our example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of ewhat we do, the evident fullness of the love ouyr hearts bear to you
Amen. 136
