Positively, there are some new and upcoming young pastors that are recently retooling the way the “Church” locally should be presented to the community where it serves. Last month when I was in Maryland, a pastor contacted me and wanted to know how to take the church he is pastoring outside the walls. I have certainly taken it to heart to explain that process to him. Actually, throughout the United States there is a move to “change” the approach and methodology of application in presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so enthused to see this come about. For years I personally have been praying for this “moving” outside the walls of the church and bringing Christ’s love in real application and with a life-giving force of care and compassion. Pastors and teachers must approach this modern generation with a “word”, “teaching” and “message” that has action to it and brings relational building blocks to the person listening. I mean one can stare at the television and see nothing and hear nothing. I wonder how many people in church today just stare and see nothing and listen and hear nothing? The utterances must be applicable to the situation of the times and render an answer that will bring comfort to the hurting heart. People are disillusioned by what they have seen and heard in church for the past several years. Pastors and teachers should be bold in their communication skills and presentations using media and education. It is about truth not clouded and translucent verbiage that has pride and fear at its roots. God’s plan is rich with integrity whose foundation is secure for everyone to walk upon in equality of love and service. Lets keep praying for these young warriors, who will take the Church to the level of true religion in today’s 21st century. Lets pray for them to be adopted by spiritual “Fathers” that will guide and teach them truth along the way.
