Jesus Loves You

01/10/2014

What would Jesus do? The question is always, ‘What would Jesus do?’ And I don’t find him a lot fighting for his rights. In fact, to me, the way he intentionally spread the Kingdom of God was by refusing to fight for his rights. He could have fought for his rights, but he just said, ‘No, go ahead and crucify me.’

It might be that a persecution in the church of America would be the best thing that ever happened to us, if you think about it. It would blow sky high some of the Pollyanna Christianity we got going on. It would blow apart this religion as a self-secure, make-you-feel-comfortable, cool-my-life-a-little bit stuff. It’d blow apart the idea that Christianity’s a civic religion that has primarily to do with praying before football games. It’d blow apart - if we started getting persecuted - the myth that this is a Christian nation. It’d blow apart the idea that 80% of the people in this country are Christians - they’d hightail it real, real quick. It’d blow apart idolatrous patriotism. It’d blow apart this idea that, when the Bible says that all the nations in the world are under the power of Satan, somehow America is excluded from that, that somehow it doesn’t apply to America. It’d blow apart a lot of the civic social religion. It would make us get serious about our faith, and that’s a good thing. It might be that a persecution’s exactly what the doctor ordered, in terms of turning this thing around and bringing genuine Christianity into the culture.

Never has the church been persecuted where it didn’t grow. Never has the church conquered the culture where it didn’t die.

…So much of the religion of America is about getting outraged about s*x and about fighting for our rights. Those are the two buttons you push if you want to get Christians to act. Those are two things I never see Jesus doing.

…In the early church, people considered it an honor to be killed for their faith. Today, we have a religion that’s largely centered on fighting for our rights....
