It's Time for a Revolution
For the past few years, I have been saying that the world is in the state it's in because the Church has failed to be what God has called her to be and do what God has called her to do. If you don't like the way things are going, for the most part, the Church is to blame.
Back in the 90s, we had a series meetings at Life of Faith Fellowship, in Port Huron, Michigan. Our focus was on the state of our nation—specifically, how we had strayed from the principles on which our nation was founded and what we needed to do to return to God. One of our worship team members, David Faley, wrote a song, "It's Time for a Revolution," for those meetings. Reminiscent of the folk/rock style of the 60s, David's ballad sought to awaken a sleeping Church to the urgency of the day and times in which we were living. With David's permission, I am sharing his song with you. Its message is relevant to these present times, too—maybe now more than ever.
Hey, Church, it's time to wake up, stand up, pray, and work together to see the hand of the Lord upon our land once again. It's time for a change. It's time for a revolution, and the revolution starts with YOU!
(By the way, that's singer/songwriter David Faley pictured above—dressing the part for "Classic NightFlight," an annual classic car show and concert held at Life of Faith "back in the day.")

Hey Randy,
This blog is so true and I too have said this. I look at what Jesus did and I didn't see an appointment book but rather a heart of compassion to go out into all the earth and preach the gospel. He went into the streets where they were. The church does need to awaken and do what it is called to do.
Love that pic of Dave, too. I remember that night. It was so much fun. Dave looks so young even behing those sunglasses. Blessings to you.
