Revolution part 8
Yo, yo, and hello to everyone out there. I hope and pray you are all having a great day today.
There some things to talk about today.
I read chapter 12 of Revolution today. This chapter is about why the Revolution matters. Here Barna talks about other revolutions throughout history and how they shaped the world, and how they shaped us. Then he talked about the Revolution (what the book is about), and how it shapes our lives. He says that change is always around us. Wheather we like it or not. Wheather we accept it or not. Change is occuring all around us. The Revolution will change us if we choose to accept it. Barna shows us that we'll be the same, but altogether different. Then he shows us the impact it will have on those who believe. Next, the impact the Revolution will have on the community of faith. Then, what the impact will be on local churches. Then what the impact it will have on our culture here in the US. And lastly, he says that this is not utopia.
This book is very profound. Very good book. Please get it, read it, and put take what he says to heart. This book will change the way we see church.
A second thing I've been thinking about. I remember watching a baseball commercial one time. Derek Jeter (shortstop for the New York Yankeeys) was doing a promo for Major League Baseball. He said that he always wants to be remembered as a Yankeey. Then he said, "you either love us or hate us". Everyone who's a baseball fan either loves the Yankeeys or hates them (everyone who knows me knows where I stand). On the other hand if you don't care about baseball you don't have an opinion one way or the other. You could care less about sports or anything pertaining to sports. But there's one thing that we don't have that option. And that's what we believe about Jesus Christ. Jesus has said, "No one can serve two masters. Either he hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Money" (Matthew 6:24). We will make a decision one way or the other about this Jesus of Nazereth. As the old song says, "What will you do with Jesus my friend. Neutral you can not be. One day your heart will be asking, oh friend, 'what will He do with me'?"
Not everyone cares a lick about sports. No one is going to come up to you and ask, "Do you like" this team or that team? Or even, "who's your favorite team?" and then beat the stuffing out of you if your answer isn't their favorite one. Why? Because not everyone likes sports. Not everyone pledges their allegience to this team or that team. Some people couldn't care less about sports. And that's ok. But everyone has an opinion about Jesus Christ. Christianity is something we don't have that option about. Everyone will have to decide one way or the other about who this Jesus is to them.
I've heard it said that when the Apostle Paul went somewhere to preach about Jesus, there was one of two things that occured. One was a revival. The second, was a riot. Either you join Him or reject Him. The choice is ours. I decide to follow Him and to go telling others about this Jesus so they can make a decision for Him too.
Any comment? God bless you in Jesus' name.
Adios.
