One of the problems in the Church today is that God IS calling His people to stand up, speak, and be heard. If they don’t, God holds them accountable. We have too many geldings in the Church instead of the stallions God is calling men and women to be. Geldings are nice, but they don’t bring life - they are sterile. And, as C.S, Lewis said, the problem with the churches so often is that we don’t have the stallions - we have a bunch of geldings. We castrate the stalliion and then tell him to bear fruit.

One of the best books speaking into this is John Eldridge’s Wild at Heart. Then read his Waking the Dead. It is one thing to read these books, it is another to act on it. It is time for the men and women of God to stand up. And I don’t mean just writing a letter to your congressman/woman.

Last month in Atlanta change agents gathered from 13 countries and 30 US states for the 2009 Church in the Workplace – Reclaim 7 Mountains of Culture International Conference. Leaders such as Lance Wallnau, a business coach, have identified 7 cultural mountains: business, government, arts and entertainment, media, education, family, and church. Culture is actually controlled by a small number of people at the top of each of these cultural mountains. These are the cultural gatekeepers. The Church needs to launch a broad-base attack in each of these areas to effect the transformation necessary in our culture. It is not impossible. George Otis, Jr. with the Sentinel Group has already identified hundreds of cities in the world where it has already happened.
