Here is what others are saying about, Church on the Rocks...
“Richard Oostra has been a personal friend of mine for eighteen years. He is a person who loves the Lord and His church. While here his influence was strong in the areas of evangelism and grounding new Christians in the Word of God. His criticisms may startle you, but his interest is to see the church built on a sound scriptural foundation. He is a man that has a great heart for the church.”
James W. Sinclair, pastor (1969-1987) Bethany Baptist Church, Red Deer, AB
Richard Oostra’s involvement in Christian ministry leadership over a period of more than fifty years, throughout North America as well as on the Continent, had enabled him to have a unique perspective on the state of the church as it has evolved into its current condition. His analysis of the distressed conditions and serious shortcomings generally evident in the church today is most insightful and urgently needs to be carefully considered. More importantly, his call for repentance and corrective action is one that we fail to heed to our peril and to serious loss for the cause of Christ.
As a layman in the pew, the author is expressing his frustration between belief and total commitment in aspect of both church life and one’s personal life to a Christ who has done so much for us.
Whether agreeing or not with the author’s premises, one cannot escape the fact that Church on the Rocks is a clarion call to the church to take a hard look at what it is truly all about anyway. It will provoke our thinking in many different aspects of church life today. Whatever your thoughts, let the heartbeat of the author stir you to action in some areas of your life.
