Dear Radicals,
When referring to the current condition of the small town Church and the resulting small town Christian it is impossible to avoid words like; lifeless, impotent, ineffective, useless, unproductive, and vain. Our problem is not that our fortifications have been torn down or that we are surrounded and out numbered by the enemy; because neither are true. Our demise is not due to battle worn and weary saints who are hard pressed on the right and yielding at the center of the battle line. Our failure is found in the fact that no one seems to be able to find the battle field any more.
In Stanly County, where I live, we have managed to deceive ourselves into believing that we have somehow created a truce with the forces of darkness and everyday we hope and pray that they keep their end of the bargain. We are distressed with anyone who may suggest that the battle is still on and that God is still looking for soldiers who are willing to lay down their lives for the cause of Christ. After all, talk like that might make waves and bring discomfort to our already laissez-faire lives.
The truth of the matter is that the enemy is not at the gate but he is already within our borders, populating our schools, sitting in seats of power, attending our churches and even sleeping in our own beds. The most degrading and demoralizing fact of all this is that those who claim to be Christians don’t seem to know or care. We would rather hang on to our tedious traditions than to turn over the tables. As a result hundreds needlessly die as church goes on as usual. In times like these, church attendance skyrockets while spirituality declines to a record-breaking low.
Every generation and every community has a demonic yoke that oppresses, captivates, and binds. However, where sin abounds graces does much more abound and for every yoke, there is anointing! There is an empowerment being provided by heaven without regard to gender, race, age, or education and it’s available to all who will. It’s time to give the radicals something radical to do!

The Russian military have pioneered a new way to bring Church to the battlefield. They’ve designed a church structure that can be parachuted into any battlefield and produce instant worship services for their military personal and you don’t even have to add water!
