For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV
People are choosing sides now more than ever before in history.
One side demotes and fact checks Jesus into oblivion while the other pleads for another encounter to effect change in their minds and hearts.
That the stakes are high is the most consequential understatement in all of history.
But it’s because everyone matters to God and to lose another to corrupted reasoning and blindness to capital T truth hurts in our deepest parts.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.”
1 Corinthians 1:27-29 NIV
It’s not just the Good News, it’s the greatest news that passionately drives us to speak up and speak out even when it’s branded foolishness.
It’s our task to bring the good news to Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
It’s God’s to bring them home.
