Rise and Responsibility

I believe the church is on its way. Those that teach the Word with passion and diligence. Those who approach it with fear and trembling knowing that they will stand before a Holy God and have to face Him one day. Those who approach it with accountability.
Those that welcome the sick, broken, and all too well. Those that don't care if your tie is steamed pressed. Those that don't divide over when Christ is coming back because some knowledge is too great for us anyway. Those that become a Greek to the Greek and a Jew to the Jew. I believe the church is on its way. Those that frown upon complexity and smile upon the simple yet challenging life of breathing the greatest of the commandments. Those that share their possessions, do life together, and live a life of resurrection.
Yea its time. This nation is going to be backhanded with the gospel and life will never be the same. The right churches are growing and the "health and wealth" will die. The question is...are we ready?



Ananias and his wife were not. In the Word, as you know(and if you don't know that's ok) they are both struck down for going against the grain of a revolution. They were part of something ginormous where the numbers that were being saved were outrageous. Where life was being done right. Where every one was filled with the joy of living in Christ. And with that revolution comes great responsibility. "When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required" Luke 12:48

Is the church ready for this revolution? Start preparing your heart now. Start living with integrity. Start pouring yourself out in desperation to your God so that you don't go against the grain of a revolution. Because this revolution will be beautiful, and critical.
