There is a revolution for the kingdom of God brewing. This isn't in the news, and you have to go to the right people to even find out this is happening, but it is real. As someone who is coming of age and writing in this time, I swear to you that this change is coming.
Who is behind this change? Well, it is predominantly young people, writers, artists, and people who want to do hard things for the glory of God. As I wrote in my last post on Democracy in America, I have become worried about the intellectual leveling in America. No where around us do we see godly leadership and godly genius, and it has started to feel like we lack the Elijah's and Tolkien's of our age.
But there is hope. This January, I participated in a writing challenge hosted by the amazing Brett Harris. (Seriously, if you don't know who this guy is, I encourage checking out him and the work he has done/is doing for the up-and-coming writers of our generation.) From the challenge he hosted through his Young Writers Workshop, I ended up sniffing out the blog him and his brother Alex started called the Rebelution. (This is a good read, highly recommended) Anyway, knowing that their movement is out there was one of the things that gave me the push to start this blog.
Now, you might be wondering where I might be going with this. My point is this. For all you who long for godly change, it is happening. There are those who are resisting the culture's low expectations for us young people and actively pursuing excellence. I know this because my church family is one such group. I believe there are others out there like us. I started this blog to encourage the people of my own tribe. Eventually when this gets going I'm going to spread this movement to the rest of the world.
So in conclusion, there is a revolution out there to retake the Kingdom for Christ. It may not be on the news, but it is out there and growing stronger. My hope in the next few months is to unfold the motives of this movement and contribute some of my own writing to this worthy effort.
