When we look at the enemy all around us, we may be tempted to despair. The enemies of Christ control the news media, the entertainment sector, the monetary supply, education, and virtually every elected official in Washington’s uni-party. Yes, it’s bad out there.

It seems as if there are no quick solutions, but God has turned things around quickly before. We see one such example in 1st Century Thessalonica. Paul, Silvanus, & Timothy  ‘turned the world upside down’ (Acts 17:6). In I Thessalonians 1:5-7 we see the simplicity of their world-flipping method. &, spoiler alert; it’s men. Convictional, Holy Spirit filled, unflinching men, who pour into other men, who pour into other men.

The transformation of our nation by the power of God depends upon the mobilization of men who have been transformed by the power of the Gospel,

Follow such men.

Be that kind of man.

Invite others to follow you as you follow Christ.
