Comfortable Christianity is over!
Extraordinary courage, wisdom, and vision will be necessary if we are to remain faithful to the Truth we have received. The type of courage and leadership like that of Esther, who prayed constantly, pursued continuously, and proclaimed courageously to save her family and defend her Faith.
The Church must come together! We are compelled by the Holy Spirit to pray constantly. Prayer, especially corporate prayer, ensures we never lose sight of the reality that we are participating in God’s plan to redeem the world. We need to reclaim the sense of the Holy centered on the community experience in worship, especially surrounding Holy Communion.
The Church must come together! The Holy Spirit is compelling us to pursue Christ continually. Discipleship and our personal transformation into the likeness of Jesus Christ is the solution to the growing desperations in the world. Being transformed into the likeness of Christ is NOT just an abstract idea — it is an authentic, personal, and ongoing relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
The Church must come together! The Holy Spirit is compelling us to proclaim the Gospel courageously. The Gospel must be spoken — even when the words fall on deaf ears. For such a time as this, followers of Christ must be missionary-minded, courageous, and compassionate. Pastors must be committed to being the guardians of the Truth.
In these last days, the Holy Spirit is compelling us, in the face of current reality that we have no other choice but to come together to shine the Light and Hope of Jesus Christ in an increasingly dark world!
To God be the Glory!
