revolution

i read this article for this class and it is pretty cool stuff. here some cool quotes and shocking statitics all in american though.
in america, the divorice rates are double, teen suicide rate has tripled, voilent crime has quadrupled, the prison population has quadrupled, the birth rate out of marriage has risen 6 fold. couple living together out of marriage has risen sevenfold.
-decades of self-centered living and wordliness in the church of america. years of compromise and toothless gospel preaching. So true so true
-we need a revolution!
-but this revolution will be different than other revolutions including the revolution that birthed our nation more than 200 year ago, this revolution will not be fought with earthy weapons of destruction , not with guns and knives and bullets and bombs- it will be fought with the message of the gospel, with the love of god , the power of spirit, with radical holiness, with sacrifice , compassion, and courage. it will be jesus's revolution!
-our revolution is fueled by the power of the gospel, and the gospel does the voilence of the forces of hell.
- the gospel is a treat to the kindgom of darkness, the gospel does voilence against the forces of hell. WE MUST RECOVER THE FULLNESS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS!!!!! I believe the gospel can change a nation or a community, the church is sum what sugarcoating the gospel

Rathering than seasoning the world like salt and brightening the world like light, we now smell and taste like the world , and its darkness is snuffling out our lamps, Rather than setting captives free by the power of Jesus's blood, many of us are being ensnared and enslaved, making a mockery of that sacred blood. Rather than making disciples of sinners and teaching them the ways of god, many of us are being discipled by them, learning their ways, imiting their lifestyles and conformating to their values.

the divorice rates today among the evanglelical is higher than the divorice rate among the atheists. Now that is scary!!!!


It is time for the church to stand up , wake up , speak up and act up!!!!
