October already? I can’t believe it.
Back in the ’70s, we didn’t realize the scope and magnitude of the Jesus Movement at the time. We just knew that the Holy Spirit was moving, was changing us. Let me share with you a passage from Jesus Revolutionthat summarizes what the Jesus Movement was to me.
For some, the Jesus Movement was a passing wave, or a fire that soon went out. . . . But for uncountable numbers of baby boomers, the Jesus Revolution was a pivot point, and everything was different afterward.
Many became pastors, lay leaders, missionaries, parachurch volunteers, and powerful influences for Jesus in their communities. Many went on to birth all kinds of strong, steady ministries to help people in need and bring glory to Jesus Christ. The sustainable legacy of the Jesus Revolution—something we can all learn from—is the lives of those for whom it wasn’t just a golden ’70s experience that passed, but an ongoing reality rooted in the Word of God and in a healthy local church.
That’s how it was for Greg. The center of the Jesus Revolution for him, circa 1970, was not starlight, rainbows, or a mystical spiritual circus. It was a decision: “Am I for Jesus or against Him?”
Then, having decided that he was for Jesus, the new life wasn’t static. It was a journey about learning how to grow up in Christ, about an ongoing revolution of being transformed by the renewal of his mind. It was about partnering with the Holy Spirit. It was all about grace.
I want today’s generation to experience that same grace, don’t you? I pray that the Holy Spirit would again be poured out to move hearts and change lives on a large scale.
Last month, we offered a free copy of the Jesus Revolution book to anyone who made a donation to Harvest Ministries, and I’d like to extend that offer through October. I believe so strongly in knowing and applying these principles of revival that I want you to have a second chance to get the book if you haven’t already. (If you already received your book, perhaps you might want to share a second copy with a friend.)
