I read an interesting article recently that spoke to me. It was titled “The Revolutionary Mission” and was written by Pastor Brad Powell, senior pastor of Northridge Church in Plymouth, Mich. Powell is the author of “Change Your Church for Good.”

“A world that is going through revolutionary changes cannot be reached, convinced and awakened by a church where everything remains the same. I’m not talking about the truth itself; truth never changes. I’m talking about the way the church engages the world with the truth. To wake the world going through revolutionary changes requires that the church is revolutionary itself.

“This may sound foreign to many Christians and church leaders, but this is what God has called us to be and do. In fact, it should come naturally for genuine Christ followers because Jesus was a revolutionary. The early church followed in Jesus’ footsteps. It became a revolutionary force focused outward and bent on serving others. (Acts 2:41-47)
