“EARTHQUAKE: God’s Seismic Love for Our Broken World” – Part 2

“EARTHQUAKE: God’s Seismic Love for Our Broken World” – Part 1

“Two billion people today have no access to anyone who can tell them about Jesus. Only one in every thirty missionaries work among these two billion. For every $100 in the offering plate, only one penny goes to this work.” Are there any radicals out there who want to see this change? And would even be willing to help make it happen? But where would you even start?

“These are two radically different questions. ‘What can we spare?’ and ‘What will it take?’” Welcome to the radical query, the radical command, the radical invitation.

Stories of organ transplants abound and have resulted in the saving of many lives. Organ donors are either deceased or have an extra organ they can live without. But who ever heard of a live donor of a healthy heart: the survival rate for the donor is zero! Which makes this story so compelling.

What of the billions who have not yet heard the gospel? What hope do they have to be saved? The answer—which comes as a surprise, even an offense, to many—lies embedded in the thirteenth question, revealing God’s heart while affirming our call.

Radical 2 had his world by the tail. But that was before the radical reversal, which left him a great debtor. Therein lies the timeless moral of his story.

The life of Radical 1 reveals why there are so few read radicals in the world and the church today, and why it’s so important that there be many.

When someone is called to a prophetic office, we can sometimes learn as much from what they personally experience as from what they overtly teach. Which is why some very profound lessons on how to survive, even thrive, at times of intense suffering are revealed in discovering how she related to hers.

Plagiarist and usurper of Bible authority, or true messenger of God?

Our third millennial skepticism to any claim that God called someone to the role of a modern prophet echoes Jesus’ own warning against false prophets. And yet, the Bible predicts a prophetic ministry in the end time. So, how’s a person to tell the true from the false?

“By their fruits you will know them,” He warned. Which makes all the more significant the three great passions of this particular prophetic gift, and the global fruits it has borne.

The amalgamation of two clashing world views of origins has given birth to a third which appeals to many modern minds, but must forget three biblical revelations to survive.

It happened long ago when a wedding party and a funeral train passed each other at a crossing that would never be forgotten. Could it be that two modern anniversaries have coincided with a result that will always be remembered?

Seven stages in the life-cycle of a prophet, some of them so human as to question the his/her divine calling, some of them so disturbing that only a fool would desire such a calling.

Seven chapters of salvation history, seven divine secrets until God himself “spilled the secret” through His chosen confidants. Should the world have expected any less at the end? Consider the revelation and full implications of a miner prophet’s major message.

Two divine gifts sustained our Lord for 40 days on His way to that moment in sacred history that became the center of all time and eternity. What would happen if you and I dedicated 40 days centered on these two sustaining gifts?
