The Beginning of every great movement begins with a problem that can't be ignored and is worth your life. These problems exist all over the world...
-Water in Africa
-Homelessness
-Sex trafficking
If a group of people gathers around a common solution - something special can happen. Everyone must believe in the solution and be willing to give everything they have to follow the vision. As the leader, if you get people to own the problem and solution, then you will have their hearts... if you just give them tasks, you will only have their hands.
Once a group of people throw their lives into being part of the solution... a movement begins.
Just as quickly as a movement begins... it can end. The enemy of the problem is arrival. When the problem ceases to exist - so does the movement.
The problem that Christians must throw their lives into is simple. "Without Jesus, there is no hope - and the world must hear that message. In every creative medium, every nation, in every tongue... that message must go.
The "sense of arrival" in ministries, buildings, or numbers... kills a movement. If there is no problem, no mission... then there is nothing worth giving your life for... and there could be nothing further from the truth.
This week, Rock Creek Students move into their first Student Ministry Facility. My burden, as the leader, is to make sure that everyone understands that this move - is not the end of the movement but the opportunity for bigger impact.
Do you find yourself apart of a movement? Do you remember when you believed in something so real you would give your life for it? All across the world, people are trying to create movements on things that have no eternal consequence. Christianity has nothing to create. It is the movement of our God that draws us to the highest passion and led his son to the Cross.
The Problem is Simple.
Lost People Need Hope.
The Solution is Simple
Hope has come, He is Christ!
