“Are you raising up an army?”

​The two groups on Friday celebrating after a week of “An Introduction to The Christian Worldview.”
This past week was the first time the church leaders (EACL) and the next generation (ETNG) joined together for a week of teaching.  Alison DeLong introduced the two groups to ten major categories of a Christian worldview; interpreting every area of life (philosophy, ethics, science, law, etc.) through the lens of God’s truth. This seemed to be a new approach for the entire group.  The approach of considering how the Bible applies to every sphere of life was different than studying the life of Christ, the journeys of Paul, Galatians, etc. Also, this approach heightened their realization of living out what they claim they believe. There were expressions of confession and repentance. It was truly a powerful week. They requested future weeks where we go deeper in politics, economics, sociology, the place of mind and emotions, etc.

Alison and I rejoiced with the many things they expressed and how the Holy Spirit was working in a powerful way. However, one of their questions caused us to pause. One of the church leaders was expressing his excitement about what he was learning and how this was different from how they had ever approached the Bible. Then he asked a question about the Church in the United States. Are you raising up an army to teach this? I understood him to mean, raising up an army for Rwanda, Africa, and the world to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5

What do you think? Are we raising up an army?

A question to be answered both in humble confession and in hope.
