I rented Son of God movie today. I watched the extras first because I've seen the movie a few times but without that added plus.
And that got me to thinking about this thread. Because there are pastors and conference leaders that speak in the extras part. And about their experience with the movie or watching.
Watching that and the reporting by the producers Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett I was inspired to write this.
Why are we feeding the negativity this thread purports to convince us of about the body of Christ?
Seventy percent? There's no way that number can be truly proven as actual in numbers of young people leaving the church. But it is a huge number to make the members of the church fear. And that's the point of the reporting against the church isn't it?
Why feed that negativity? Isn't that the realm of all that is contrary to the truth and promise of Christ?
How about this instead. As Roma Downey said of Christianity being they traveled extensively promoting the Bible TV series and the movies surrounding Jesus.
Look to the latest 2016 Passion Conference.
Look to Catalyst 2015
The Awakening Conference
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Death could not hold him. He's ALIVE! JESUS IS ALIVE! And people love him and cling to him and hold his word in their hearts because his holy and sacred spirit speaks to them there. And loves and guides them. Countless embodiments of God's holy spirit walk the earth. We are many! People aren't leaving the church. God is eternal and calls to himself those who know his voice. The voice their souls hunger for.
Ravenous passion for the truth of God in Christ! Every time someone in the world comes to Christ Satan loses one more. He knows his time is short. He is the father of lies. Jesus people aren't dwindling in number. We are everywhere.
HALLELUJAH! The perfect lamb of God. Who's death washed us clean as the driven snow for the blood debt we owed he paid.So that we may enter the Grace of God again.We are not less in number. Heed not unto dark tidings. We are many and growing stronger every day.
