Is it possible to alter a personal paradigm? Change the way something has always been done? Permanently shift someone's perspective? Is it too daunting a task?
The media shapes it. The culture adjusts to it.
Is the church capable of implementing a Jesus-shaped paradigm on a massive level?
If the answer is no, the church in America will continue at its current rate of decline until it's practically non-existent, and extremely non-effective.
Shouldn't a community look different because of God's church? Thus, a nation look different because of The Church?
Our God is an amazing God, and He will use willing vessels to be His hands and His feet to break down a deteriorating paradigm and re-build a Biblical one.
I am willing Lord, send me.

you are amazing.... you should write a book... I'll do the forward.
But, don't write the book yet... let's see what God does when we break down the paradigms.
Together we journey to be paradigm changers.
Isaiah 6
Wow Kara you're an awesome writer!
I don't think the church per se is capable of a massive paradigm shift. It starts with the people that make up the "church" It starts with a passion and turns into a raging out of control fire. That is possible. Let's start it now!
Acts 5:42
You're right, Steve. It's about us as the church living authentic lives devoted to Jesus. Only when we get authentic is there true change in ourselves and others.
