And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations. – Isaiah 61:4 NKJV
This is big and is that which separates us from the general mindset of the North American church. Taking the initiative in advancing the Kingdom of God in all areas of daily living, not just in the church setting.
I don’t mean here the sense of just blending in or being conformed to culture but rather the idea of penetrating and effecting – to alter the culture by assimilating the kingdom as Isaiah refers to as to rebuild, raise up, and repair.
Assimilate as kingdom leaven in the loaf of culture.
The Parable of the Leaven – A parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.” Luke 13:20-21
