The Eclipse of God's Love in the Life of the Church

by
06 May 2020

Martyn Percy on how our mission and ministry all too often falls short of expressing God's overwhelming love.

The challenge for Christians is how to cope with God’s overflowing abundance. The main task is merely to get out of the way, and not eclipse God’s love, poured out on the undeserving as much as the deserving.

Recorded at the Church Times Festival of Faith and Literature, 21-22 February 2020.
