Biblical Truth-transcultural as it is has an indispensable message for ethics, modern politico-economic concerns, and all the idolatries of our polytheistic society. "it proclaims the gospel to a generation that is intellectually uncapped, morally unzippered, and volitionally uncurbed." Carl Henry.
The Lord has sent us to minister among a wounded and bleeding cultures of Liberia. Only Biblical ethics boldly confronts and clearly addresses the abyss of immorality engulfing post war Liberia; it speaks to the greed of men and women for money, to lust, sex slaves, FGM, crimes, murder, injustice, tribalism, to the myth of blessed me theology, and witchcraft. We hope this library will be a center that will lovely engaged all of modern life in Liberia and its perverted sense of what "good," is. I hope and pray that our evangelistic courage in God dare not be broken by the weight of these problems or the betrayal by so call friends (Phil 1:12-18)
My brothers and Sisters, let us fight the good fight of faith in God and of sharing the kerygma or apostolic core message gives us, no less than the early Christians, the best perspective for sharing God's word on the edges of eternity. And that message is: Christ's incarnation, sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, personal return to this earth (yes Christ is coming again), in judgment of humanity and to establish his glorious kingdom. (2 Tim 3:1-17)
