“You can sense it! A NEW BREED of believers are coming on the scene! They won’t just be MEMBERS of a CHURCH, but AMBASSADORS of a KINGDOM! The REFORMATION has begun!”#TheReformation
The pandemic changed the course of the church. Raw mission is everything now. The slick church modeled after corporate style leadership models is dead. The church is now smaller, tougher, less glossy, and not as concerned about fitting in. It sounds like the recipe of revival.
@SarahDeshields I think of it as when things are at their sweetest, their best. I had 4 years within a community that I now recall with such bittersweetness because they were so fun. Our Spirit(belief), Aesthetic(expression), and Labor(vocation) were humming on all cylinders. Never seen since.
Sooner or later at some point we are all going to have to live through our glory disappearing. And then we will have to live in the shadow of our former glory. How you live after your former successes is the real work. That’s where the real relationship with the Spirit begins.
