Unfortunately our world is being shaped more by a progressive, liberal mindset than that of the kingdom of God and the citizens of that kingdom. At least in regard to what’s being reported in the media and manifesting in our conversations. I think Christ followers have some innovating to do in regard to shaping culture and the world around us. I know it should be based on love. Love to the degree that it draws people to follow Jesus.
I’m not entirely certain how to consistently go about that on the scale of a national and global impact but I am in prayer. I’m in prayer that I would see a way to so effectively shape culture with the love of God that we stop talking about bathrooms and we start talking about why so many people are coming to Jesus. I want to see a flood of news reports about the sky rocketed sales of Bibles. I want to hear stories of the darkest of the darkest souls giving testimony about the transformative power of love they encountered from a Christian.
I’m praying the body of Christ does something so radical, rooted in Jesus’ sacrificial love for people, that the mainstream media can’t ignore it and it transcends questions about a literal 6 day creation of how Noah got all those animals on a boat.
Lord, we, as your body in this earth, open our hearts to be led by you into such an effective display of love and power toward the world that it becomes impossible for people to deny the unity in the body of Christ and the presence of your spirit in each believer. May we reflect your heart toward people to the degree that only you are lifted up and you are sought by people who never would have imagined they would find themselves as Christ followers.
Here we are, Lord, with our hearts turned toward you. I just want the world to know how good you are.
