There has to come a time in most people’s lives where there is a realization that something is wrong. Sometimes it is something that is felt, other times it might just be sensed, and there could be other times when someone that you know and trust will be that “word” of insight.
No matter how you get to the place of realization, what’s important is that you arrive. The normal initial response would sound something like, “Oh, it’s not that big of a deal. I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me.” It’s sad to think that somehow some way everything can be fixed by ignoring the real issue. We think that if we would just close our eyes and click our heels together 3 times that the problem will remedy itself and all will be fine.
I wish that would not be so for the modern day church. I wish that we as the body of Christ weren't known for sitting at some gathering “wishing” for problems to just go away. I wish that we didn’t make programs that if we all would just do these 21 things that all will be well. And I definitely wish that none of what I just said made sense to any of you that are reading these words.
Unfortunately, this could hit so close to home that you better take cover. As the “set apart” body of Christ we need to arrive at a place of realization. We need to become aware that something is horribly wrong with our world and the people in it. Until we admit that something is wrong, no “rights” can occur. When were we ever taught that it is wrong to be wrong? How did we ever get the mindset, “We need to be perfect with no issues” get into our DNA?
Mistakes, Hurts, Issues, and pain grow you individually as well as corporately. Without limitations there can be no innovations.
Let us be known for being aware of our current place. Join a movement of changing circumstances, guiding the lost to Christ, and helping the hurting to healing.
Let’s create the pace
