“All that is
necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
Church, COME
ON. GET IT TOGETHER. GET BACK ON YOUR FEET.
For too long
we have just been sitting back, enjoying the comfort of being in our own
“bubble” of church activities, routine meetings, worship music, safe “Christian
jobs” that “honors God”…
Stop lying to
yourself. You are not being effective. You are just being lazy. You are
ignoring the world out there and everything that is ever going on. You are
afraid to get out there. Your own people judge you and say: “Oh, you did this
and that, you are crossing the line, you are not being “careful”, you are not
serving God”.
Guys, that’s
lame. Stop playing and cultivating this religious game. It is boring, lifeless,
uncreative, hurtful, limiting, and oppressing… Everything that God is NOT.
Where are our
politicians, attorney generals, CEOs of conglomerates, artists, sports
athletes, pop-stars? We the Church, should be OUT THERE, influencing people,
making key decisions for our country and culture, making laws, writing songs,
producing movies and live shows that move the hearts of the world, being CEOs
of conglomerates that manages billions of dollars, building skyscrapers and
creating jobs for the nation.
Instead, we
teach ourselves and our children to be “safe” and “careful”, don’t explore too
much, don’t ask questions, don’t have crazy ideas, don’t be too radical or
different… let’s just obey and honor these religious rules, routine and
culture. (whaaa?)
If we don’t
influence the world, the world influences us. If we don’t go INTO the world to
influence it, don’t start complaining when laws and culture change against your
favor and against the commandments of God. We are the ones responsible. This
affects us and our children and their children.
We are called
to have dominion over the world, over the systems and culture, not just go
around the same circle and routines doing religious stuff and being
ineffective.
Church, I
believe in you and I love you. Don’t be afraid. Encourage one another, not
condemn and guilt trip each other. Kingdom of God is here and now. Invite this
world of fearlessness, creativity, love and beauty into your hearts, and then
just GO FOR IT. Pursue boldly what God has purposed in your life to do. Be sold
out about it. Don’t be lukewarm and don’t let anything stop you.
Don’t wait
for them to tackle you, go in hard and tackle them with the Love and Power of
God!
COME ON
GUYS, GO GET IT.
With Love,
Amos
