Can the Church Change a Nation?

Yes…and no. The primary purpose of the church is to make disciples:

• Jesus modeled it.
• Jesus commissioned it.

The church isn’t a political organization.

• You can’t legislate faith.
• You can’t legislate morality.

The church is a divine organism, the body of Christ.

• Christ transforms people.
• Transformation is the renewal of your mind.
• Renewed minds think differently:

About everything!

• When people think about everything differently, they become DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

When church people are different people:

• They are not of this world.
• But they are in this world.
• They shape this world.
• God’s power through His people changes the world, one person at a time.

Darrow Miller says, “If Christians don’t disciple the nation, the nation will disciple the Christians.”

Discipled (equipped) Christians can change the nation.

How?

• Organically, from the bottom up.
• One person at a time.
• Christianity is not a political program.
• Christianity is an infectious movement.
• Christianity changes everything, including the nation!
