Shift happens
And then ask yourself, "What are the implications for me personally?" Or how about, "What are the implications for the church?" Or maybe the colloquial, "What would Jesus do?"
Exciting and scarry shift . . .
The roar of love |
gregnettle.com is the blog of Greg Nettle, Senior Pastor of RiverTree Christian Church. The Roar of Love is a favorite description of how Greg describes God's love for all people. Greg has dedicated his life to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible in the most effective ways possible. Greg believes that the sign of a mature Christian is not how far they remove themselves from the world, but how deeply they penetrate the world with the "roar of God's love."

Almost unfathomable... and yet God is GREATER!!
I'm not even sure "shift" is the right word now. Of course, this blog wouldn't have been nearly as amusing without using "shift." The word shift sounds too subtle for what is happening but we're probably only going to realize that it wasn't subtle looking back wondering what happened. Will the church be ready? Not unless most of us get out of our comfort zones.
Good stuff.
History is definitely full of "shift" - thank God.
If you would have tried to convince me as a child that in my lifetime I would walk around with a tiny wireless thing with a blinking blue light perched on my ear talking to whomever while I drove or shopped or walked...
I agree that as the world "changes" "shifts" "grows" or whatever the right word is, the best way to touch hearts with the LOVE that IS God is from right out in the middle of the people Jesus came for. Let's face it, Jesus did not do life wrapped up clean and pretty and separated from the "un-godly world".
