It’s been truly telling to watch this discussion develop over what makes a vital Christian today. Going back to the first century is one way to think about a Christianity that had no reputation to follow — no preconceived notions to confuse the understanding. Identifying true Christianity has been a difficult task of late due to a popularizing and politicizing of Christians and the Christian message over the last few decades. Anything to help sharpen the focus and get to the essence of what a real 21st century Christian looks like.
“God so loved the world that He gave…” (John 3:16).
We have 12 prayer warriors who pray around the clock. They pray generally for all of you, and specifically for those who send in requests. And here’s the catch, we don’t know where they came from. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be. From the first one to the twelfth one, they showed up, unannounced. We did not solicit prayer warriors. We did not train them. No one wrote us: “I want to be a prayer warrior for the Catch, what do I have to do?” They came, fully prepared by the Holy Spirit to pray, and they announced that God had led them to us. Let me make this very clear: We do not have a prayer ministry today because we decided to have one. We have a prayer ministry today because of God and these twelve people.
If you read yesterday’s Catch, you were introduced to a concept in studying the Bible that should be common to us all as a means by which the word of God becomes real to us. I’m speaking of when you are reading or studying your Bible and you come upon a verse or passage that seems to say something different than what you’ve always heard preached in church or even how certain scriptures are used in regular conversations among Christians.
