Unrestrained! Where there is no revelation [vision], the people cast off restraint; but happy is he who keeps the law. We live in days where much restraint has been cast off - in both the culture and the Church. A compromised vision and message from many church leaders has produced compromised faith in the people. The answer? We must pray for true revival in the Church! Righteousness will not happen in government, education, business and media until there is genuine righteousness – revival with repentance – in the Church. It is through a revived and repentant Church, with each believer walking in holiness and obedient commitment to our King, that God will bring His salt and light to our decaying culture and societies. We know it is our primary mission to love the lost and broken as we reach out to them with the Gospel. However, the Bible is clear that we must first “love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength,” without compromise and with obedience to Him alone. Then, and only then, can we properly love our neighbors the way Jesus would, and in a way that will truly make a difference in their lives (Matt 22:37-40).
