The Book: God’s Got a Problem on His Hands”

As a jail chaplain for ten years, Rev. Earl Clampett knew he only had forty-five minutes to reach prisoners with God’s gospel of salvation – a daunting challenge since most prisoners had little biblical knowledge and a whole lot of attitude against God and those who represent Him. Each visit, he prayed while walking across the parking lot “Lord help me to hone this message so it’s practical, relational and presented with enough power and clarity to change shattered lives.” God is faithful. He answered that prayer visit after visit, year after year.

Prisoners’ behavior changed. Hardened criminals in the San Diego prison system learned to control their thoughts and speech - reducing violence. The change in prisoners inspired guards to find out more. The message is, God’s Got a Problem on His Hands and it’s man’s rebellion against God. Fortunately God also has the perfect solution which is presented in this book.

Earl knew if this message could work in prisons, why not present it to the modern American Church? Why does the Church need a shake up? Because these days it’s hard to tell the difference between Christians and non-Christians. Could it be that we are following Church traditions and have strayed from the true gospel of the kingdom that changes lives and behavior?

The Church in America has lost it’s salt and light witness to the world. Maybe it’s because our theology is upside down.

Christian pollster, George Barna has expressed serious concern in a 2005 report on the health of the Christian Church in America. He explains that “the long term absence of real change on key measures of religious belief and behavior screams for a change of direction and a more radical approach to spiritual growth...”

This book deals with the problem that God has both in the heavens and earth. The problem is rebellion then and now. The problem is not solved with current evangelical teaching which emphasizes that heaven is the goal of Christian salvation while the earth and its nations have been written off by God.

Our dying and going to heaven does not address or fix the problem God has on His hands.

The solution is found in the one prayer that Jesus taught.

Come explore what may be the key to real and lasting revival along with a reformation of current evangelical understanding on the meaning of salvation and eternal life.
