Chris Wright, International Director of Langham Partnership International, challenged Christians to confront the idols of power and pride, popularity and success, and wealth and greed. He called the Church to repentance and simplicity. Wright, author of The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible's Grand Narrative, is a scholar whose work I respect highly.
