FIDE-O: The Audacity of Reform
Jason Robertson wrote a brief but important post on reforming the church. The need for Reform in the church has never been greater. It is a struggle, it takes sacrifice but it is our mandate in this generation.
Reform isn't easy and it isn't always successful, but it is the necessity of our generation. We must courageously strive to reform the thinking of God's people, transforming their thinking to be biblical and God-centered. It is a task that is daunting and at times overwhelming. The victories seem short-lived and the battles seem unending. Yet the joy that is set before us lifts us up to march forward.
We send all these misssionaries out to foreign nations, and we should, but while these men and women are risking their lives overseas preaching the Gospel, the church at home is slowly rotting away at it's core because in so many cases it has abandoned that very same Gospel that these missionaries should be proclaiming. Have hymnal, pulpits and pews doesn't make a church. It is the faithful preaching of God's Word with boldness and without apology that makes a church.
