Revolution part 3
Yo yo and hello to everyone out there reading this. I hope and pray all of y'all are being blessed by our great God today.
Once again I'm sorry for not posting on Saterday. I have read chapters 5 and 6 of the book Revolution. Before we talk about it, let me put in a little plug for this book: if you don't have it, get it, read it, and practice it. Alrighty then. Chapter 5 is about Spiritual Transitions in The Making. Barna starts off by stating, "Change is a natural, positive, and irreplacable part of growth". He goes on that leaders know what got them to where they are now, but that things have to change for them to continue progressing in the buiness world. And psychologists say repeating the same behaviors only brings about the same results and we must change behaviors if we want to change. Barna says that the spiritual Revolution is gaining momentum and influence in the US and is giving substantial evidence of change taking place in this country today. There are big changes that are transforming the people involved in them. "These changes are effecting perceptions of worldview, lifestlyle, and expectations that characterize the two youngest generations: the Baby Busters (those born in 1965 through 1983) and the Mosatics (those born from 1984 through 2002)". Then he lists seven trends that are leading to the New Church that will effect the way the moral and spiritual revolution of millions of those who have been praying for for several decades. Then he discusses the new spiritual landscape that is changed by the seven trends. And lastly he talks about how Americans experience and express our faith.
In chapter 6 we look at how God is active in today's world. First of all he talks about true transformation. Secondly, he talks about the discovery of, what he calls, spiritual mini-movements. Then he talks about how local churches reponds to them. And lastly he talks about the secret of transformation.
As I've said before, those who read this book and put it to practice will change in many ways including the way they do "church".
God bless you all in Jesus' name!
