A Real Revolution

The term "revolution" gets thrown around a lot these days, its even part of the title of my blog!. In some ways, it's almost become a bit of a catch cry, and if we're not careful, it will lose its meaning. I love the word, it just has so much rich meaning, and its what the world needs. A revolution of love, Gods love. A revolutionary fight by Gods soldiers to see the world won for him.. That's the kind of revolution I want to be a part of.

I read this quote by Commissioner George Scott Railton (a legend back in his days) about revolution

"We are revolutionists. We know that we have passed from death unto life, and we insist on the necessity of the same sweeping change in every human being. With cries of 'Death unto sin' and 'Life unto righteousness,' we go on, determined to turn the world upside down. We are not philosophers or the theorists of revolution; but its agents. Merely to recommend revolution is contemptible. We must make it. Glad indeed would we be if any word of ours could go forth to slumbering Christians and slumbering churches, and awake them to the fight; but it is only what is done by direct personal effort that can be called sure work, in a revolution." (found on armybarmy)

Merely to recommend revolution is contemptible. We have to act on it! What a challenge hey?! We can cry revolution all we want, but we must be the change we want to see. We have to stop bashing the bride of Christ (the church) and start living the change we want to see happen. Start leading by example!

Bring it on! I'm excited, and I can't wait to see what happens when people start taking the battle that we're in seriously. Lets make an effort to become once more the salvation people of yesteryear... You can make a difference... Step out in faith - pray hard: ask for opportunities... I don't think that God is finished with us yet.. so let keep on the mission of saving souls, growing saints and serving suffering humanity... Let's take a risk- what have we to lose?, we may be surprised at what God will do in and through us if we pray and ask him to send us out into his harvest field!

Lets trust God - step out in faith and lets see the revolution he so longs to bring... (hat tip Rusty)
