..Living with expectation and being made ready..
The Lord is stirring in our midst at Bethany Church and bringing some weighty matters to the forefront. One of the key themes He is highlighting is the call to participate in orienting a people around "The Day of the Lord." We pray that God's grace would help the Church in the Twin Cities be a people who live the moments of our lives as though we could personally see the return of Jesus to the earth. Whether or not He returns in our generation, we desire to live as those who hunger for it in prayer, who proclaim it in evangelism and discipleship, who are gripped by it, and who hunger to bear the characteristics of the fiery holiness and love that Jesus says He is looking for in His Church in Revelation 2 & 3.
I've been struck by how the Lord is bringing passion for this to the hearts of the leaders of Bethany Church. To read more from them on this topic, see these compelling blog entries:
