Radical Passionate Obedience

For the last 5 or 6 years, these two words have been the torch that has burned in the hearts of the people of the Kingdom. Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio come together in 1997 to found the Passion conference. And last year, David Platt writes the book that has called the Church of America to take back our faith from the American dream, and reclaim what we have fallen so far from.

There is this call in our nation today. But it is not a call you will find on the television or on the radio. Politicians can't hear it. Priests have become numb to it. For this is a call that does not resound in the megaphones of 21st century individualism. It is a call that goes deeper than what we see around us. It is a call that burns beneath our bones and into the depths of our hearts. And I feel this call. Oh how I feel it. And I know you feel it too, for if you did not, you would not be reading this. I feel it now as I am sitting a coffee shop studying. I feel it when I am in the shower. I feel it when I don't expect to feel it. It's like it just starts screaming. This is the call of the Spirit of God. If you are listening, it is a call that goes deeper than any call that you have ever heard before. He is calling us, Church. He is calling us to radical, passionate, obedience. He is calling us to bear the torch of Christ. He is calling us to lead our world, our nation, our cities, our towns, our friends and our families to radical, passionate obedience. He is calling us to take back our faith from the American Dream and reclaim it in the words of scripture.

Let us run this race. Let us carry the torch of Christ wherever we go. Let us live with radical, passionate, obedience to the Spirit of God and Word of God. And let us keep on running until He comes.


Lets go.
