CONVERGENCE
Every fresh Revival tide in history has reintroduced some forgotten insight of God’s word, some fresh aspect of the “manifold wisdom” of God that has been forgotten or ignored by Christians. This approaching Revival tide is no exception. So: what’s the unique emphasis that God is stressing for us to re-learn just now?
The answer: John 17:21. “That all of them may be one….”
Until now, Christians have been content to remain separated from each other in their little denominational ghettoes. But today God is calling us to converge together more and more, to pray together for the triumph of His Kingdom. He’s calling us to be, simply, citizens of the Kingdom of God. The Jesus we have in common becomes more important than issues we have allowed to divide us in the past.
I have found that, as I have acted on this calling from God, and stepped out toward other groups of Christians–other than the one I grew up with–God has honored that, and brought extraordinary blessings in the long run. This video describes that journey, and I invite you on that journey too.
And while I’ve got your attention, let me just mention that I am in process of developing a new author website at DougMcMurry.com. It isn’t quite ready yet, but before another month is out, it will be. So check it out.
