LIVE IN SUCH A WAY

Can God use us?

I have 120 answers to that question—the charter members of the Jerusalem church (Acts 1:15). They had nothing more than this going for them, and that is a fire in the belly to change the world. Luke recorded their stories in the book of Acts. It cracks with the sounds of God’s ever-expanding work. Would God do with us what he did with his first followers?

You know ours is the wealthiest generation of Christians ever. We have enough food to feed the hungry. We have enough bedrooms to house the orphans. I don’t mean to oversimplify these terribly complicated questions. But this much is clear: God has given this generation, our generation, everything we need to alter the course of human suffering. Let’s live in such a way that the world will be glad we did.
