If Jesus were still alive and preaching today, would he be building a huge church structure? Would he be talking about the "trigger" issues, the hot topics that seem to dominate our pulpits? Would he be marching in the streets -- either against or in favor of -- abortion, gay rights, or repealing the death penalty? Robert Blair contends that Christ would not be politically active or overtly try to influence the government.

If Jesus were still alive and preaching today, would he be building a huge church structure? Would he be talking about the "trigger" issues, the hot topics that seem to dominate our pulpits? Would he be marching in the streets -- either against or in favor of -- abortion, gay rights, or repealing the death penalty? Robert Blair contends that Christ would not be politically active or overtly try to influence the government. Instead, he asserts that Jesus would preach the same simple gospel that he did 2,000 years ago. In The Great Omission, Blair makes the case that the contemporary followers of Jesus should be doing what he would do -- and that our primary objective ought to be preaching the good news to every person on the planet. Blair believes that it is only by doing that, and by personally assisting the poor, that we can truly glorify God. Every minister will profit by "reading and heeding" this book -- but those in the pews will also benefit from reading The Great Omission. Too often laypersons wish to honor God, but receive garbled signals from church leadership about the church's main purpose. This book will become a lightning rod for change in returning our churches to the biblical message, and suggesting the right methods to tell it. Robert Blair is a retired pastor who served the Hollywood (California) Church of Christ for 28 years. He is the author of The Funeral and Wedding Handbook, as well as numerous articles in Leadership, 20th Century Christian, and Power for Today. Blair is a graduate of Pepperdine University, where he earned both Bachelor and Master of Arts in Religion degrees. He now resides in Cleghorn, Iowa.

Autorenporträt
Robert Blair grew up in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, but he now calls Dallas, Texas his home. The journey from Sweetwater to Dallas wasn't just about changing locations for Robert. It was a personal voyage from feeling misunderstood and rejected by his family to discovering his true self, embracing it, and turning it into powerful writing. When his family disowned him for coming out as gay, it was a difficult and challenging time in his life. However, instead of giving in to despair, he turned that experience into inner strength and found acceptance among his genuine friends, who continue to support him.Robert's life experiences have not only influenced his writing but also cultivated his wisdom. His best advice is to always stay true to yourself. For 18 long years, he struggled with his identity and harbored self-hatred due to societal pressures regarding his homosexuality. Yet, once he broke free from those constraints and embraced his truth, he discovered a renewed sense of joy in living and a peacefulness that now shines through his literary work. Today, Robert proudly stands as a testament to his belief that being authentic to oneself is the ultimate path to liberation.Even though there were disagreements about Robert being gay, he's grateful for everything his adopted mom, a pre-K teacher, did for him. She played a huge role in his life, guiding him and showing him love during his formative years. Despite their differences, he appreciates the impact she had on his upbringing. Their relationship proves that love and understanding can overcome challenges.
