When we take a position on any social or spiritual issue and defend
our position with an anger-filled discourse of fear we will begin to
separate our selves from the very people God has called us to love
without condition. Unchallenged this angry fruit of fear will disempower
our voice as cultural change agents. We are in a moment of history
where we need to rediscover the simplicity of the Gospel and return to
its message of hope.
Our culture
has arrived at an angry and violent intersection of unresolved fear.
This has taken place because a message of hope seemed too simplistic for
many in the Church and has been abandoned. Some have replaced the
message of hope with solutions similar to the ones offered by an
unredeemed culture. This is about to change. A revival of hope is
coming. The works of God are about to be displayed in overwhelming
measure in those places where hope has cleared away the debris of fear
and revealed a new way forward.
