"Where is the Dangerous Faith?" New Years 2023
Show Notes

For most of its history, Christianity and those who followed the teachings of Jesus were considered "dangerous" to kings, rulers and nations. When you look at the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul and all he endured and faced, it would be easy to describe him as a threat to the status quo and his life as dangerous. Yet in many parts of the world today, including North America, Christianity has become accommodating and comfortable, blending in with culture. Where is the dangerous faith today?  Those willing to die to self, stand up for the downtrodden, speak up for absolute truth, blessing those who curse them and loving those who hate them. Where is the transformative power of the Word of God being proclaimed unapologetically? Where is the Holy Spirit being given the freedom to work in and through the followers of Jesus Christ to impact and change churches, neighborhood, cities and nation?  Join us as we examine how Christianity lost its "dangerous" edge in our churches and our personal lives and how we might regain it by following two simple "resolutions" from Paul's personal example. From 2 Corinthians 11:21-29, 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1.
