This is a blog for a rising new community.
We are children of faith. We desire authenticity. We cry for justice. We call for hope. We shout for change.
We are the new face of evangelical Christianity. We are the youth, the college students, the young workforce, that desire something more than what conventional Christianity has to offer. We reject the stereotypes. We cross denominational lines. We question the ways of our fathers not simply to be rebels, but to unearth the heritage and essence of our faith. We seek to regain the prophetic voice of the Old Testament prophets. Rather than retreating to the safety of "Christian Culture," we will engage the world and live in the midst of all communities. We strive to discover God through experience, community, art, knowledge, and faith.
We are not just emmergent, we have emmerged. We are the rising leaders of the community of faith. We embrace the destiny that God has called us to, in fact, we run toward to with open hands. We see Christian living as more than preaching, good actions, and wearing a tie on Sunday. The Christian life, for us, is seeking God, and helping to establish his kingdom on earth. It is not a kingdom tied to the Republican party or an ideological or denominational camp. Our mission is more than prevention of abortion and gay marraige. It is a kingdom where the disenfrachized find justice, the outcast finds acceptance, the prisoner is set free, the blind see, the lame are healed, the orphan and widow find hope, and the downcast are picked up again.
We call to those who will listen. We are not an army of soldiers out to fight a "culture war," but are ambassadors of peace and hope. Our enemies are not atheists, liberals, muslims, or the media. The enemy is the Spirit of the Age and his forces. We will not mistake a hostage for an enemy. Our tools are peace, justice, love, kindness, and charity. Our message is hope.
