Things of first importance

TAKING GOD SERIOUSLY
Vital things we need to know
By J.I. Packer
IVP. 175 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 844 746 095

There is muddle over the gospel message, doctrinal convictions and Christian lifestyle. We are spiritually undernourished, and the current symptom of our weakness is the acceptance of homosexual unions among the clergy and members of the Anglican church.
