A community transformed through prayer

How do you truly transform your trouble-laden community? Is it outreach? Evangelism? Activism? Discipleship programs? Our small but growing community is rich with discipleship programs in town for marriages and for young people, counseling services of various kinds, a clothing and food bank. But it is persistent daily prayer that is the centrifuge of all of it.

Judging: a forbidden sin or the Christian’s divine duty?

So you see for the Christian it is not enough simply to live in quiet integrity. Fervent, aggressive prayer against the enemy in the knowledge of how Christ through Calvary whipped him and his nobles for our sake - that is, foremost that we might see Christ's kingdom manifest here on earth (Matthew 6:10) and destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), is the daily duty of every serious disciple of Christ. But even that is not enough. Scripture makes it clear that the Lord requires His faithful ones to open their mouths in the public square and speak truth.

Can your gifting impair your vision? Why some pastors won’t talk about current events

One major stream of gifting in the Body of Christ (the prophetic/intercessors) sees the absolute chaos of our nation as a result of what God is doing in this hour: disciplining the Church for her prayerlessness, compromise, and disengagement from the world and culture in the guise of keeping to the exclusiveness of preaching the Gospel. The other major stream of gifting (the pastoral/teaching) sees the passion in Christians to engage the culture through being salt and light in the political and governmental gates of influence as Christian nationalism and political idolatry. How do we reconcile this?
