The music that really turns me on is either running toward God or away from God. Both recognize the pivot, that God is at the center of the jaunt. --- Bono, lead singer of U2
It amazes me that people finally get it. No, I am not talking about the man I have just quoted. What I am talking about is the world in crisis turning to Jesus. Mark it down, check the history. Every time something significant and painful hurts us we turn toward God as a people and as a nation.
That is not different. It is a fact. Many times it has happened, yet each time there is a turning toward God and a turning away.
Honestly, I love the take that Bono has on this. Watch him in the media and when he is given an opportunity to make a difference. No matter the situation, something is going to be positive about God and to help people. We are watching a celebrity who is radical for stuff that is anti God. We hear stuff that is from God and about God and moral all over the place.
Ephesians 5:16 (nlt) --- Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Colossians 4:5 (nlt) --- Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.
We are continuing our series at The Community Fellowship called Heroes, and I am looking for people who stand out in the crowd, who stand for something strong and lead people to do the same. It is people who fear God, not people. It is people who make a splash, a big one, when they are looking at the needs of the world.
No, I am not making Bono a saint, but I am saying that here is a guy, like him or not, that is making a difference. He admits he is not perfect. He is real, and he talks about God.
A hero is someone willing to lead people to see Jesus. They don't stop speeding trains or foil bank robberies. They step out to put others first in their lives. God is at the center for them, for the hero. Are you a hero for someone? We ought to be.
Ephesians 4:1 (nlt) --- ...lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.
