For
years now, many of us have been feeling the need for a second reformation. In just the past few weeks we celebrated the
500th anniversary of the first reformation. While the first reformation gave birth to
what we now know as the Protestant faith, we now feel that it’s time to take
another step forward toward becoming more like the “spotless bride” we are
destined to become.
For
the first reformation to manifest into a sustainable movement, Martin Luther
had to write down his thoughts and nail them to the door of the church. It took this tangible outgrowth from his
heart for something physical to happen.
For
over a decade now God has planted the seeds in my heart for a new wine
skin. There are now some 8000 pages of
journaled interaction between us over the subject. Just the other day I heard a voice tell me
that it was time to “write it down.” In
other words, it was time for me as a modern-day reformer to follow in the steps
of Martin Luther to write down what is in my heart so that something synergistic
can tangible happen in support of the physical implementation of creating this
new model.
Out of what I feel is obedience……….
