Governments rise and fall, but God is eternal, immutable, and omnipotent. Christianity is relevant and unique.
We know Christians and spiritual seekers are blessed by loving Christian fellowship, growing in the knowledge of Christ, experiencing forgiveness, and relying on Holy Spirit power.
So how are we to equip Christians for ministry? How are we to develop the mind of Christ in believers? How do we present Kingdom living in the here and now? Life has always been difficult and messy. People want the real story on how faith works in the everyday of handling anger, doubt, fear, failure, illness, stress...
People are struggling: individuals, couples, families, and congregations. People are seeking meaning and purpose. Discipleship, listening, prayer, encouragement, hospitality, and service are still very much needed and appreciated. It's only a question of where, when, and how they are made available in 21st century America.
Perhaps Christian lectures are passé and outdated? We learn best by hearing, seeing, doing, and through conversation as in apprenticeships, internships, mentoring, and following wise guides through the unknown.
"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
How will you share life, light, and love in an ordinary moment today?
