unfortunately, the church stands around, holding hands, "on our way to heaven" all the while our communities are suffering. We have become irrelevant, being overly consumed with "doctrine". The church is supposed to be the most dominant force on earth. Right??
I think the stats show that as the overall population is increasing in the US, while the number of churches are decreasing. I read that somewhere I'm sure. Anyway, a good friend shared this word with me yesterday. Christians, especially the church, need to be running to the darkness. Sometimes we ignore problems, other times we're just plain chicken. Fact is, we are the vessels of "light". We are the one's with the knowledge of truth. We are the one's with the good news to share. We are the one's called to do God's work. We are the one's that choose to (or not to) have an impact for God's Kingdom. We need to choose to take that light to the darkness.
Dave - Yes, the church is supposed to be the most dominant force on earth.
Jonathan - Running to the darkness is what is not preached in most churches. Instead it's watch who you surround yourself with. God called us out to be a "light". Right On!!!!
Making Difference Makers has moved to our new site. We are still about developing and influencing others to make a difference in their world. It is our goal to share principles of leadership and insights that you can apply to your ministry, business and life. You can read updated content at JasonCurlee.com
My blogs are about creating content that ministry leaders can find practical and inspirational. They are about sharing the ministry principles and experiences we have accumulated since 1995. It’s about being innovative, unique, and creating content that can help you make a difference.
Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, volunteer, friend or family, these blogs are written for you.
With ministry experience in three churches since 1995, I have a passion for helping ministry leaders excel in what they do. With youth ministry success in two churches and working on staff for a 4,000 member church, it is my desire to give back to the ministry community as a whole.
I am a Church Planter and Campus Pastor for Bay Area Fellowship in Corpus Christi, Texas.
I am about influencing and developing others to make a difference in their world.
This blog contains the random inner workings of his mind and in no way reflects the thoughts or opinions of Bay Area Fellowship, the BAF staff or the people who attend BAF.
