In the current economical and technological climate we find ourselves in today, it has become increasingly apparent that we find ourselves in amedeocre state of mind. We feel inadequate to approach challenges and we find ourselves being swept along by the crowd and the medioracies that surround us. This is being an increasingly comfortable way of living, avoiding challenges, becoming stale and making no difference. We blind ourselves from the economical struggles and the hard life. We bury our head in the sand and seek to keep our valid opinion to ourselves. We don't wish to cause a scene and make a difference. What about the increasing pressure from government on Christianity and freedom of speeech? The solution is simple: 1. Bury head in sand. 2. Make no sudden movements or gestures.

Is this how we want to live our lives? Is this what we want to confine our hearts to? Do we wish to contain the fire? Sadly, it seems like this is the case. Instead we need to pull our heads out the sand when challenges come and take a look around. In a single glance we will see others facing familiar struggles and challenges, but with their heads buried. We can stand together building each other up and strengthening each other in love. This is not a revolution but is summed up in one word. Church.
We are not inadequate or of moderate quality. We are warriors for the Kingdom, a strong army ready to fight against challenges and wage war against the devil. We need to take hold of what is given to us and be prepared to make sacrifices, we need to be prepared to be struck down, but we need to ready to be lifted up. We need to look at what is coming and have the faith to conquer. We need to be brimming with God's love and overflowing with the Holy Spirit. Our ability to make a difference is greatly influenced in our desire to become like-minded in Christ, to walk and not be faint and to mount up on wings like eagles. We need to be on fire for God, a different generation ready to make a difference. A people ready to serve. A nation ready to conquer.
