In this prophetic call to the evangelical church, Wells stresses that Christians need to confess Christ as the center in a society lacking a center, as the sovereign in a world seemingly ruled by chance, and as the one who can give meaning in a nihilistic culture.

As the Protestant church celebrates the 500th anniversary of the Reformation the question of the authority and power of the Word of God for everyday life is still raised by many. Through this collection of essays, the Gospel-Centered Discipleship team seeks to demonstrate not only the rich theological implications of the authority of the Bible, but also the life-altering power of God's Word for everyday, ordinary life. GCD's aim is to see the Word of God "make, mature, and multiply disciples of Jesus." As Martin Luther declared, " the Bible is alive, it speaks to me, it has feet, it runs after me, it has hands, it lays hold [of] me." He was announcing the power of the Bible "above all earthly powers."

What or where is the place of faith? Is it a physical location? No, it is where we are when we step out into the unknown in blind yet obedient faith because that is all that is we have left. Our Christian vocabulary is filled with ideas, quotes, and even promises from God that are meant for our comfort and reassurance. As real as God's Word is, what happens when all has been recalled and rehearsed and we still find ourselves alone at the place of faith?

DO NOT BE AFRAID We live in a fearful and cowardly time. Some are anxious and withdrawn, seeking to escape the notice of whatever scares them. Others mask their fear with fighting and quarrelsomeness. The root of all of this fear is the fear that we might lose our belonging in whatever tribe in which we seek safety, the fear that we might have to stand alone. The crisis we face is not a crisis of clarity but a crisis of courage. Our problem is not so much a lack of knowledge as a lack of nerve. And yet, Jesus told us that we are to stand with courage. That doesn’t mean that we will be fearless, but that we will know how to face our fear and keep walking toward the voice that calls us homeward. Gospel courage is nothing like the bravado of this anxious age. The call to courage is terrifying because the call to courage is a call to be crucified. In The Courage to Stand, bestselling and award-winning author Russell Moore calls readers to a Christ-empowered courage by pointing the way to real freedom from fear—the way of the cross. That way means integrity through brokenness, community through loneliness, power through weakness, and a future through irrelevance. On the other side of fear is freedom: the freedom to stand.
