Here in South Africa we are waiting patiently for a man to stand up and not conform to the current chaos. Today it is tough not to conform to the chaos. As a practising electrician have to certify houses wiring daily. It is a reality. John Haggee once said, either you conform to the jungle or you conform to the Bible. Make up your mind.

Thank you very much for your articles and the reading program which I follow daily.
God bless you and your hard work.
PS Love your podcast.

Frayed round the edges, bleached by the sun and always reading about better ways to keep your healthy head and body healthy. Always with my eye on the next tasty sweet thing that won’t kill me or anyone else but never without reflection and a word with the great beyond, God.

It means giving up the perceived safety of silence.

Thanks, Jim, for such a clear picture of what transformed non-conformity looks like for you. Bless you and all you touch today.

There are people living under a bridge not far from where I now sit. Transformed nonconformity means that I sacrifice comfort and brave the elements to enter into relationships, be led by the Spirit, meet needs. Transformed nonconformity means that I bring hope along with socks, hats, and mittens. Transformed nonconformity means that I love… radically.
Jim Gates, TC12

I have forwarded this article to the students who are taking a class on ‘Proclaiming God’s Voice’ to the world we find ourselves in. I believe this is the voice of The Role of the Modern Day Prophet….
Great thoughts!
