We have been encouraged by our leaders to do new things to reach people for Christ. The emphasis is that it is the new ventures that are proving to be areas of growth as connections are made with people we previously had no contact with.
There are many aspects to new things. I do wonder if we are available for God to do a new thing in our lives. The influences of our Communities have been ruling God’s people, instead of the other way around. We have newspapers and magazine in our homes that are crammed with articles and processes that are in opposition to clear Biblical standards. We talk about peace, but many of our people are willing to use violence to obtain what they think is peace. It would be easy to continue in this vain, however that is only partially helpful.
Changing our focus onto what God wants and requires of us as His servants, will be a more productive way to fulfil our mission to transform society. The ability to be quiet, listen, and observe our world, may be a good place to begin.
Isaiah 43:18-19 (MSG)
"Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.
