Why is the city a battleground of hostile principalities and powers? What is the mission of the church in the city? How can the church be supported in accomplishing that mission?

The city is one primary stage on which the drama of salvation is played out.

For years, Robert A. Peterson taught about the assurance of salvation in seminary and Sunday school classrooms. He was concerned, however, to find that some people, for a variety of reasons, were unable to grasp the certainty of their salvation.

"That can't be right, that's cannibalism!" No one ever said that God never challenged us or did something unexpected. But this claim about the words of Jesus in John 6 either we have thought, or likely heard, if we run in Christian circles. We can argue that we've had controversial prophecies before, like in Isaiah: "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel" that God has given us to understand His amazing plans. While Bible-believing Christians today are willing to believe what many Jews still find ...
