Go!

You know the commission. GO! (Matthew 28, Acts 1:8, Hebrews 13, and many other Scriptures) Do you ever think about this [God-sized] commission. It's huge, it's risky, it's dangerous, but we've been promised that He Himself (Heb. 13:5-6) will NEVER desert us or EVER forsake us. WOW

In his book, Roaring Lambs, Bob Briner talks about how the churches influence in culture is quenched when she stays quiet in the mainstream (meaning all forms of music, theatre, arts, printed media, local school board and TV and radio; i.e. the marketplace.)

I recently moved into this risky place (outside the camp) and agreed to an interview for my local paper. I didn't like the final result at all and now finding myself wishing I had stayed inside the camp (but resolved that I must not.) So I thought I would open up for some thoughts from others with suggestions and thoughts about being a "Roaring Lamb" in the mainstream of our culture.
"It's time for believers to confidently carry their faith with them into the marketplace so that our very culture feels (and hears) the difference." Bob Briner (Added emphasis, because they must hear the gospel for it to be good news.)
