Thought for Today: “Let The Church Rise”

Leonard Ravenhall said, “We are so subnormal these days that the normal New Testament experience seems abnormal.”

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called by God to bring forth His whole word, even if it means going back and reopening biblical doctrines. It won’t be easy, but God has called us to faithfully discharge the duty of being His witnesses to a lost and dying world.

Before the church can arise and shake the world for the Lord, it must bring back the truth of God’s word. The church needs to make the declaration to, “Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God.”

The church needs to be shaken and awakened by the whole counsel of God’s word, and not what feels good or what is the flavor of the month. The Lord will never heal our country until the church becomes healed and becomes what God has called for it to be, the salt and light of this world.

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:13-16)
