The church will never reach the world until it experiences a dramatic paradigm shift which includes embracing its call to manifest the reign of God in every aspect of culture. Joseph Mattera

Any movement is only biblically valid to the extent that its disciples model and receive their life and strength from Jesus Himself. Joseph Mattera

Consequently, any church, program, leadership training, practice, discipleship process that doesn’t ultimately lead to Christlikeness is in of itself in vain (even if there are a lot of people and success attached to it and the result was a quality-of-life transformation in a community). Joseph Mattera

A church that recognises unbiblical forms of marriage and family more than the 10 Commandments has already lost it’s soul and reason for existing as a Christian community. Joseph Mattera

In conclusion, if the church is going to be an effective witness for Christ, we have to exalt the universal truth of Scripture and exalt Christ as Lord of all, even over our ethnic and national culture. Joseph Mattera
