Irresistible Revolution

Irresistible Revolution
Friday, March 13, 2009
Here begins a journey of sorts, a step into a new room….Seven couples, from a unique little small town in the mountains of Colorado called Westcliffe are about to embark on an adventure. We are all white, mostly middle class folks that can stay pretty isolated from the politics, traffic, crime, noise, and chaos of city life. Most of us actually have chosen to live here, and enjoy lives set apart from what most of America experiences on a daily basis. Yes, there is some true good in our motives to live far away from the city. We all love the beauty of our valley, the simple life on mainstreet, and the unique and special relationships that develop in such a small town. We love our schools, we serve in our churches, we reach out to our neighbors. We hunt, fish, build stuff, and enjoy the outdoors with a passion. It is a great place to live and raise kids! Yet, for some reason, we are willingly choosing to read a book that has a context far from what we currently experience. We all know enough about the Irresistible Revolution to know that it may really rock our worlds, and challenge us all to live a different life. Though we are all in different places in our spiritual walk, we long to be challenged to live authentic lives for Christ. So, here we begin a journey of the unknown. I hope to journal through our process as we read this book. As we all grow, I will share what God is revealing to us white folks way up in the middle of no-where. Chapter 1 will commence on Monday.
