The Revolution Something HAS to change…..
The culture is slipping away into the hands of the
Enemy. The Church has been self-marginalized and
continues to decline in the West—the ONLY place
on the planet where it is NOT growing. A
revolution is needed to overthrow the status quo and
bring the Church to a place of new vitality. But this
cannot be a revolution of destruction, but one that
brings life. It’s not about tearing down, but building
up—and building with the simple principles of Jesus.
“Church as usual” just doesn't work—and the Revolution
is needed to usher in a new era. The Revolution is not about angry pastors and leaders who are disgruntled with the Church and seek to utilize the platform of a revolution to execute their own personal agendas, seeking relief for their personal torment and pain. Rather, the Revolution is about pastors and leaders who are hungry for more, who realize that what the world calls “success” is not necessarily the same as obedience to God, that making an impression is not the same as having an impact, that having a crowd is not the same as having disciples of Christ, that transforming a neighborhood, a town, or a city can only take place where individuals and families are transformed, and the people that comprise the Community of Faith called the Church actually love God and love each other, living out the biblical reality of genuine koinonia. The Revolution is an ever-growing movement in the landscape of Western Christianity and beyond that is igniting the passion of men and women of faith of various theological persuasions, age groups, and ethnicities to live out and incarnate a transformed Christian faith that seeks nothing less than encountering God authentically and daily, the total transformation of the self, our families, neighborhoods, cities, and living together as the family of God, a community of God’s sons and daughters. These men and women, these spiritual revolutionaries, are willing to “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship” in pursuit of Jesus and His Kingdom. Every revolution has a Manifesto which defines the issues which the revolutionaries are trying to address. Click here to read the Praxis Manifesto. The Revolution is about being the Church, not just doing Church. It is about living what matters most in life and settling for nothing less than becoming disciples who are captivated by the love of God in such a way that captivates the world around them.
