A Faith that Can't Be Silent

Yes. We live in a volatile world. Every day, a host of conflicting and contradictory voices and agendas are vying for our attention and loyalty.  Voices often insisting on agreement with their particular perspective to the exclusion of all others.  Or else. And to an ever increasing degree, these voices and perspectives are seeking to marginalize and silence anyone who attempts to speak or live out a Christian perspective in the public square.  Anyone who dares claim to speak or live a truth higher than their own.  It’s easy to become overwhelmed and discouraged. What should we do? Who should we believe? How should we pray? How should we respond?

But in the midst of the strident demands and vitriolic attitudes that seem to have become the new normal in our culturre, something else is emerging. Something new and ancient. Something that flies in the face of all the competing agendas and talking points of the world and its would-be rulers in every sector of society.

Even a cursory reading of the New Testament, especially the book of Acts, reveals that most of the real action took place outside the centers of institutional religion. The message and power of the faith life experience of taught by Jesus found its traction and impact in the streets and homes…with merchants and tradesmen, builders and farmers, slaves and bureaucrats.

The Lord is awakening and igniting movements of people around the world that will shake lives and bring real revival, transforming individuals and nations.  We are experiencing one of those moments in history that is pregnant with God's capacity to do tremendous things as He sets souls ablaze with an intensely practical heart cry for something fresh and powerful and radically other to break in on the scene of our day to day lives! “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done. Here and now on earth exactly as it is in heaven.”
