Greg Darley:

I finished up “Loving God” by Chuck Colson while on our trip.  Chuck has had a great influence in my life.

Chuck quoted John Calvin in one chapter and it has stood out to me in  huge way.  He said, “It is the first duty of the Christian to make the invisible Kingdom visible.”

WOW!  That is awesome.  What would it look like if all Christians made this their first duty?  How would the world be changed?  How different would culture look?

What are the ways that you see Christians doing this?

Here are a few that I’ll bring up:

Free Chains.  Project we started through World Causes trying to stop child sex trafficking.

Eleho: Organization by a friend in San Diego making a difference for the Karen People.

Innocence Atlanta: Friend in Atlanta trying to end sex trafficking within the city.

Fermi Project: A group trying to help Christians impact and influence culture

Prison Fellowship: organization by Chuck trying to bring truth into prisons.

Ethur: creative group dealing with issues like character and consumerism.

What are some ways or people you know trying to make the invisible kingdom known?

Too much to even process. Best quote for me was a side comment from Mike Foster, when he said that ideas are a dime a dozen. If you want to accomplish something, then you have to implement those ideas. That was worth the price of admission folks.

Today is the first day of the Q conference. I would highly suggest it to anyone seeking to gain greater understanding about culture.  There were many great questions centered around our ability to create, shape and change culture.  It will be great to see all that comes out of the week.
