Summary

            To some these strategies may appear to be like “pie in
            the sky.” They may suggest an unrealistic view of reality.

            To  others,  these  may  be  a  “bridge  too  far.”  To  them,
            these are unattainable.  To others they may be too risky

            and invite turmoil and discomfort.

            Yet, to the Spiritual Thinker, the work of LORD is often

            contrary  to  reality.  It  is  typically  beyond  our  human
            capacity to accomplish, which requires us to depend on

            the  HOLY  SPIRIT  to  work  through  us.  It  will  most
            assuredly  invite  dissention,  disdain,  and  ridicule  from

            the world.

            The  issues  involving  so-called  racial  strife,  demand

            GODLY  leadership,  or  they  will  continue  to  fester
            deceive  and  destroy.    It  is  long  past  the  time  when

            mediocrity  in  our  Christian  walk  and  abdication  of  our
            authority must cease.  JESUS paid the price. HE achieved

            complete  reconciliation  in  all  its  aspects!  The  charge
            now  rests  with  Christians  individually,  and  with  the
            Church collectively to understand and embrace it, live it,

            and lead the world to receive it. Yes, it is counterculture.
            Yes, it is difficult, uncomfortable and may even be a bit

            dangerous. But the call to the Ministry of Reconciliation
            has not been withdrawn.  Let us lead in the good fight!
