The Urban Remnant

"Sin creates space for doubt. Doubt turns into disbelief under pressure. Disbelief detours you from the life God intends."

Charles Lyons, Armitage Bapt Church

Let Us Rise Up and Build

What would happen if faithful disciples of Jesus Christ returned to and/or remained in our cities to repair the broken "walls" of its communities? Nothing short of revival and spiritual awakening. As ambassadors for Christ, we have received the Ministry of Reconciliation that Paul writes about in 2 Corinthians 5: 18-20. This is a ministry dedicated to restoring man's relationship with God, a ministry that God Himself has entrusted to His chosen people. If God counts us as His own, then this ministry of reconciliation is ours. Surely if we desire to come after Christ, we must deny ourselves, pick up our crosses daily and follow Him. He will, then, lead us into the broken places.
