A statement for Christianity
Dr. Foster touched on something in class today. In reading of the letters, we see that the people are complaining because Paul and his companions have been around turning the place "upside down" and were afraid that the same would take place in their town. This is a massive stand for Christianity. Someone wiser than me once said... We must be the change we want to see in the world. I believe Paul set a standard at this point and we should do our best to follow. Something that struck me while I was reading this material was the quiet time I had in Romans 6 this morning. Paul showed us an outward example that we see is tangible... we also need to make that inner commitment as well.

I heard or read a quote from someone one time. It went something like this, The problem with Christianity in America today is taht no one thinks they (the Christians) are worth killing anymore. I think this probably rings true to the very core of many Christians who sit in a pew week after week and never do anything to impact or turn their world upside down for the sake of Christ. If the audiences that come together every Sunday and would moblize themselves into an army we would start seeing a tremedous amout of impact through the Church.
