I still believe that the only thing that changes cities is the POWER of GOD! We live in the age of postmodernism and the church is beginning to embraced it wholeheartedly. There is nothing wrong with change. I’m a firm believer that kingdom methods change with the culture but the message should NEVER change.
Postmodernism is an intentional departure from “modernist approaches” that had previously been prevailing. This is currently happening at an incredible rate throughout our culture and in particular our churches. And as churches, we’re finally beginning to learn to be more relevant to our ever-changing culture.
But here lies a problem in our churches. In exchanging “old school” for “new school,” the message has been altered. There’s been a distortion of our core values, theology and doctrine in order to be “relevant” and postmodern.
What I’m praying for is the wisdom to combine the two. The center of our life is always Christ! He is the same yesterday, today and forever! (Hebrews 13:8) And our life should always be our message. Therefore, this message needs a relevant method of communication for maximum receptivity.
Swinging too far on either side can be very detrimental. Rejecting a postmodern approach will cause us to appear dated and out of touch with culture. But on the other hand, allowing the “relevancy to culture” to affect our core beliefs and message will dilute the power that comes from the Word of God.
We, as Impact Church, have no problem being “postmodern.” But now it’s time that we believe God for who He is in His Word and who we are in Him. We will fight to prove that a MIRACLE WORKING GOD is still alive. With that said, we’re conducting four miracle weekends this year. The first one is May 22nd. Stuff like this isn’t popular in Miami. But I believe there is a hunger for a “good ole’ fashioned” move of the Holy Spirit through sign and wonders and miracles.
