"Today, we live in a world of rapid and radical change. Mankind’s hearts are filled with fear and dread, frustration and despair. Mankind has proven incapable of coping with the pressing problems of our time…the pollution of the environment, the rising tide of crime and violence, sexual rebellion, alcoholism, drug addiction, abortion, pornography…widespread political, social, and moral decay. Oh, what an hour for Christians to become involved in the greatest spiritual harvest since Pentecost…This is the hour for which we were born to set in motion a mighty sweeping spiritual revolution that will turn the tide and reveal to mankind that the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ offers the basic solutions to every problem facing mankind.” - Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ International. What this letter tells us is that the mission and the need for ordinary, Spirit-filled Christians to boldly and lovingly take the message of Jesus to those around us has not changed since the days when the first church was born in the book of Acts and in fact is now more urgent than ever before. So, let’s continue this morning and see what God would have us continue to learn as a church about how to live out our mission as a church in South Metro Denver and as individual Christians living in our world.
