Real, raw and relevant
I have itchy feet. No I don't mean literally, but in the way that in my spirit I feel like I need to do something. I mean really do something. Maybe I should describe it better if I say I have an itchy spirit.
Something needs to be done. I have a picture for my life where I want to live a life that is so passionately sold out for Jesus. Where everyday I am laying down my life for what I so passionately believe to be true. Not in some weird religious spiro way but in way that reflects the relevant reality of God.
I'm sick of comfortable christianity. I'm sick of routine and familarity. I'm sick of seeing our youth settle for the lies of the enemy through society and the media. The ideas getting fed to them about sex, relationships, who they are and their value systems are so screwed up. Things need to get shaken up. Mind sets need to change. This society needs to change.
Someone needs to start a movement that will show this generation how relevant Jesus is. That there is another way. We need role models, we need media coverage, we need music and we need christians who are so sold out for the cause and the vision they are willing to risk anything with a 'whatever-it-takes' spirit! I'm sick of christians who are so inward focused and Sunday morning christians who live double lives. Who are you?
I am sick of sterotypes. "Good little christian girl". Safe, comfortable and politcally correct. The christian life is a life of power, boldness and courage. To be the head and not the tail. Where we stand unwavering by what we believe in and don't compromise ourselves in an attempt to be unoffensive.
Ruth said something so true tonight as we were driving home from the Impact World Tour Dessert night. God has given us these passions in our hearts to see lives transformed, but not only that but He has given us opportunity to meet influential founders of organisations that we are passionate about. I don't know what God is doing, but I know as I allow myself to be used by Him its going to be huge. This is so not about me. This goes beyond who I am and my capacity. This is about a bigger picture, beyond anything any eye (especially mine) can see. It's amazing.
The Truth sets you free - And it is real, raw and relevant.
