I've been silently reading your blog for some time now. This is undoubtedly one of your most high-impact pieces, in my opinion of course. I think you've really nailed some stuff here. Keep up the work in the King's service!

I found this article to be quite timely. God has been speaking to me about similar things regarding the book of Acts. Churches are crying out to be like the Act church, but no one seems to realize that persecution may come with that, not just the miracles. Or even entertain the thought the persecution might precede a movement in the church - to press us into a deep relationship with him not just a Sunday morning country club experience. A relatiohship that will cause us to be radical, or to stand out not blend in with the world. I'm not saying Christians will have to be wierd, but that the passion they have for Jesus will be lived out loud. I pray for myself and the Church, specifically in Western culture, that we would cry out for a passion for Jesus and an understand on His love for us and the rest will follow-becasue God does want to prepare His bride because he is coming back for her.
