If churches came to understand that the greatest threat to faith today is not hedonism but distraction, perhaps they might begin to appeal anew to a frazzled digital generation.
He is a Christian who follows Christ, who measures all things by the standard of His approbation [official approval], who would not willingly say a word which he would not like to have Christ hear, nor do an act which he would not like to have Christ see. He is a Christian who tries to be the kind of neighbour Christ would be, and the kind of citizen Christ would be, and who asks himself in all the alternatives of his business life, and his social life, and his personal life, what would the Master do in this case? The best Christian is he who most reminds the people with whom he lives of the Lord Jesus Christ. He who never reminds anybody of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a Christian at all.
There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not either show the wretchedness of man or the mercy of God. One either sees the powerlessness of man without God, or the strength of man with God.
The highest call of God on your life is to be a laid down lover of Jesus, full stop. From that place flows the joy and grace to love others. The Jesus in you is bright, full of hope, and captivating. By loving the Lord wholeheartedly, people will be softened by the purity of your heart and inspired by your hope and passion. Living fully redeemed and lovesick is the greatest invitation of our generation and the pathway to true revival.
Nothing in this world will ever change as long as the people of God remain silent and intimidated. As Christians we have a voice that needs to be seen and heard in the earth today. Everyone else is using theirs, so let’s use ours. Let our voice be seen and heard and stand up for what is right, moral, holy & godly. A voice of love, joy, peace and hope, not a voice of hate, chaos and destruction but a voice with Holy Spirit power & authority. A voice that is as bold as a lion. Speak up and speak out and live right.
