Leveling up isn’t just for video games. We do it in real life, too. And if we’re paying attention to how God does it in the lives of people we meet in scripture, it will tell us about what he’s doing today.
Of course, it’s hiding in plain sight. If you’re the kind of person who skims the text in a hurry to get on with the ‘important’ part of your day, you’ll miss it. But if you slow down a little, and pay attention to the subtleties of what God’s saying in His word, it’s right there for the taking.
For example, most of us are so caught up in the Action Hero blockbuster movie sequences of Elijah squaring off with wicked kings and false prophets that we miss the little details that make his story possible.
If you want to learn about leveling-up in the things of God, Elijah’s a pretty good place to look — if you’re paying attention.
John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
