America
does not need a revival. The church does. Revival begins when I say,
"By God's grace, even if no one else is following Him, I will follow."
"Though none go with me, still I must follow."
America does not need
to be saved. My neighbors do. Too often we hide behind our
generalities. "Preaching" those generalities are so much easier than
going next door and sharing His love. Much safer too!
I think that more than we need Christian music, Christian novels,
Christian art, Christian movies, Christian drama--not that those are
wrong--what we need are Christians in the "secular" environment who are
great musicians, great writers, great artists, great movie makers, great
dramatists. We need to encourage those among us who are gifted in the
arts to be excellent creators. They must not hide their creativity
behind a label that the unsaved world will simply ignore and remain
unreached.
