My message for some years has been reformation. Covid created such an environment for reform that many camps have capitalized on the moment. If anything has come with the times, it’s the opportunity to create a language to express the reform narrative. And since it’s a cultural language, it’s important the terms are defined clearly.
This cultural change isn’t going away. Too many have discovered that new ideas rising from this caldron of inconvenience, sacrifice and tragedy are here to stay. Going back to the way we were may be counter-revolutionary. This season has challenged and exposed structures, strategies and tactics that won’t work for a broadly-based culture of church and community. It is confrontational to the understanding of what we’ve built to realize it needed a bigger and deeper foundation. It’s like finishing a single-story home, only to discover that the community changed in the process. Three stories were needed, plus a greater water supply and lot of personal connection to make it worthwhile.
Here we are, rethinking life; family, community, business, government, etc.; and how we’re going to do it. It’s daunting. It’s hard to see in this fog of uncertainty. It’s hard to understand what some people are saying. It’s at times like this that people follow whomever is making sense. The problem arises when they are using familiar words, but the intent is foreign substance.
These times require us to be discerning. Be strong in the Word of God. Be powerful in the Spirit. Listen to Papa God’s voice. Let him create your future. You won’t be afraid and you’ll discover that he pulled it off perfectly.
