The days of kumbayah, pat each other on the back, "bless your heart" Christianity are gone...This is war. The cross of Christ is the dividing line of a great battlefield...The Father against the bully that threatens His child...The Lion against the snake...The Lover against the holder of hate...The Stone the Builders Rejected versus the poison men love and loathe...Good versus evil.
It's as simple as that. We must not be satisfied with keeping Jesus inside the four walls of the church. We must take up our crosses, and follow Him into battle. Our weapons? Our words, our hands, and our hearts. Our objective? Rescue. Rescue of the hurting and helpless. Our goal? Justice. Justice for all who are held in the bondage and strongholds of poverty, disease, homelessness, hunger, hurt, abandonment, anger, addiction, pain and abuse. Our passion? It must be His passion---to love God, and love people. Our mission? To change everything. Our heart? To love with reckless abandon.
Our King?
Jesus.
We must set him free. Set free the wild Lion of Judah, let His feet touch the earth outside of the walls of the cage that is "church on Sunday", and watch the very demons in hell quake in fear. If we would let Him out of the cage, we would see the world turned upside down.
