We cannot argue people out of darkness. All we need to do is switch on the light. The world has been led into the wilderness, but there is no divine pillar of fire to guide the people. Churches are too often like flight simulators, with no one ever doing any real flying. People there are always learning, but never evangelizing. And those who go there looking for the guiding light are offered bookish theories instead. Jesus came to seek and save what was lost. If ever there was a right moment to embrace expectations of Jesus at work, it is now. The time has come to think big, not just to sit back after cutting our own little lawns. We are the only world-changers there are. Fashions have their seasons, but the gospel alone can re-shape history. Our cities may seem like those in Canaan, surrounded by walls that reach up to heaven – walled in by unbelief. But – let’s not forget it – the walls of Jericho fell. The walls of unbelief are beginning to crumble. What is long overdue is the shout of the people of God. Not long ago Communism, a modern Jericho, seemed an impregnable fortress threatening Christian advance, but after 75 years it suddenly collapsed. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE
