EDITORIAL –
Christianity 2011: Real, Risky and Righteous!
"When the righteous are in authority,
the people rejoice...." Proverbs 29:2
INTRODUCTION
There's an opportunity in these challenging times
to proclaim the cause of Christ in a fresh, bold and genuine way that,
if seized, would have an impact on multiple generations to come!
BuilderS, Boomers and Busters
At any one time, there are basically three generations
on the earth, and God speaks to them all. However, right now, fifty
percent of the world's 6.5 billion inhabitants are under 20. A global
youth culture is forming, and Christians must learn to adjust to it.
Some are already claiming that the church must be completely
re-invented.
SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE
The newly-forming youth culture depends less on
scientific and rational thought and tends more toward seeking to
experience spiritual things personally. Those seeking spiritual
experience will be disappointed by a church offering only information
about God. Young people want to participate more, not just listen. They
want to experience God with all five senses: taste, touch, smell,
hearing and sight!
VALUE ADDED CHRISTIANITY
Recently, George Barna's statistical research found
that, "Christianity has arguably added more value to American culture
than any other religion, philosophy, ideology or community. Yet,
contemporary Americans are hard pressed to identify any specific value
added. On the other hand, partly due to the nature of today’s media, they have no problem
identifying the faults of the churches and Christian people. In a period
of history where image is reality, and life-changing decisions are made
on the basis of such images, the Christian Church is in desperate need
of a more positive and accessible image."
THE
REAL THING!
Being real, authentic and honest are the most
prized values of this generation. They can spot a phony a mile off, and
they won’t follow one! Any effort to be seen as someone other than who you
are will be viewed by them as insincere. You can only be just a pale
imitation of someone else! Always be yourself, because the people that matter won’t
mind, and the ones that mind don’t matter!
CHANNELING
Righteousness, audacity and standing for a cause
are also very important to this generation, and seasoned leaders know how
to channel youthful drive into a worthy cause.
Christianity 2011 will demand authenticity,
authority and audacity. Let the church be a safe haven for these
components to flourish in the next generation. Our future depends on it!
FEEDBACK...
Health Battles!
"Jeff, ever since I've known you, you have been, and continue to be
a man of great substance. I wish you well in all your battles, and
especially the health ones, knowing that you will win, and become so
much stronger for having endured. I pray that the love of Christ would
take hold of you more and more."
Paul Hargreaves, Australia

Following Current Statistics,
Author Believes Entire World Will be Christian by 2032
Teresa Neumann (www.breakingchristiannews.com)
"The growing core of Christianity
crosses theological lines and includes 707 million born-again people
who are increasing by 8 percent a year."
The
book Megashift, by author Jim Rutz, makes the case that Christianity
is the fastest growing faith on the planet, contrary to reports
otherwise.
As noted in a World Net Daily report, Rutz contends that "Biblically
inspired evangelical Christianity is sweeping through places like
China, Africa, India and Southeast Asia." He calls the people
comprising this phenomenon "core apostolics" — or "the new saints who
are at the heart of the mushrooming Kingdom of God."
Rutz is quoted as saying there are 707 million "switched-on
disciples" who fit into this new category and that this "Church" is
exploding in growth.
"The growing core of Christianity crosses theological lines and
includes 707 million born-again people who are increasing by 8
percent a year," he says. According to the report, so fast is this
group growing that, under current trends, according to Rutz, the
entire world will be composed of such believers by the year 2032.

FOUR ESSENTIAL
MESSAGES AVAILABLE THROUGH FMI...

MP3
NEW! Turning
the Hand of God
Can we turn curses into blessings? Nineveh’s
repentance turned God’s hand - He’ll turn curses into blessing;
He’ll turn your life around; He’ll turn your city around. Learn how
to change the worst circumstances that life could throw at you into
great opportunities for victory!
Learn how God is working for victory right now!
NEW!
The Chosen
Most are invited, but only some are picked
out of the crowd. Is it our free will or God's election? God calls
everyone and gives them the power to respond - but to be chosen, we
must respond to the call, using the power God gave us to take on the
character of Christ.
Learn how to know what you were chosen
for!
Multiplication
In Our Generation
Part Two
Once we are mature as Christians and able to reproduce spiritually,
the Father is looking for the fruit that He expects us to present to
Him. Pursuit of our own spiritual growth at the expense of
evangelism brings glory only to us, when much fruit of souls brings
glory to the Father, and all our prayers are answered!
Passing the Baton
Half
of the world's 6.5 billion inhabitants are under 20 years old.... A
global youth culture is forming, and Christians must learn to adjust
to it. Some are already claiming that the church must be completely
re-invented. The newly-forming youth culture depends less on
scientific and rational thought and tends more toward seeking to
experience spiritual things personally. Those seeking spiritual
experiences will be disappointed by a church offering only
information about God.
