This is what the church needs today. It needs men of steely resolve, unshakable discipline, and unbridled optimism. We need men with an absolute obsession with the fundamentals. This will not cap our growth or limit our ability to speak into everything; rather, quite the opposite. This will remove all caps on our growth and will allow the gospel to permeate every area of our lives. What we need is grizzled and gruff men of lore to come before us and hold up an old, well-worn leather Bible in their right hand and say, “Gentlemen, this is the gospel! ”

LET GOD DISRUPT YOUR WORLD AND SHOW YOU WHAT HE CAN DO. When we open the book of Acts, we’re struck by the gap between our experience and the movement described in its pages. The book of Acts calls us back to the beginning—to a movement born in obscurity, captivated by God’s grace, devoted to prayer and the spread of his Word.

What if Luke isn’t just telling us, “This is how it was,” but also saying, “This is how it can be”?

Yet while the Christian message is simple, it can become complicated by our environment, our culture, and our religious ideas and traditions. For this reason, we are all in constant need of revising the scripts by which we live. Author Frank Viola believes we need to revisit and revise what it means to live the Christian life.

When wounded people come to church, we often do one of two things, with the best of intentions: We minimize or discount their pain, or we try to "fix" them by being the therapist. Both just cause more damage. And the worst part is, we don't know we're causing damage. We want to help. We have the right heart. We've just never been trained how to receive wounded people effectively. By doing it wrong we make it clear we don't understand their pain, and they keep it secret for their own protection. Because we aren't safe. But what if there's another way?

"C'è un taglio profondo, una lacerazione che attraversa la Chiesa, una ferita aperta e sanguinante. È la ferita degli abusi, quella perversione che trasforma chi dovrebbe essere pastore in predatore, chi dovrebbe proteggere in carnefice. Questa ferita ha molti nomi: abuso di potere, manipolazione spirituale, violenza psicologica, sfruttamento, abuso sessuale.
