Why settle for influencing the world?

Richard Greene hits a home run on this one.

"One thing is certain: The world we seek to reach is the same world Christ died to save.

While the world has changed in terms of technological advancements, the universal problem of sin still rules the hearts of men everywhere and requires the same solution - the finished work of the cross.

God's answer to sin is the transformational power of the finished world of Jesus Christ. The power of the Gospel is that it transforms those who obey it (Romans 1:16-17; I Corinthians 1:18).

We must be very clear about the nature of ministry and the nature of how God works. God doesn't merely influence the world He transforms!

The supremacy of the Christian world view is tied to the ability of the church to transform the world and not influence it. This transformational power is not in our institutional structure or systems; it is in our living grace testimonies. Transformation is not the result of better management or programming; it is the work of the Spirit in the human heart.

All true Spirit-led ministry facilitates this work of the Holy Spirit."

Go Richard, Go!
