Acts 17:5-7 But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the crowd. And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."
Wow what an awesome thing to have said about you, "these men have turned the world upside down." Through their fearless proclamation of the Gospel, their expectant prayers, and their full-hearted willingness to obey they lived out radical Christianity and turned the world upside down. This is what I want to be said of me. This is what I want to be said of my family. This is what I want to be said of my church and youth ministry. Could it happen? Is it possible that God could use us to turn the world upside down again? I believe that yes He can and it starts with me living out my faith in a radical and yet normal way that others see Christ in me and as I live it out my kids, my wife, my peers, my students will see it and I pray God would put in them something that says I want to live like that, I want to live for Christ.
Father give me the passion and hunger to live out a radical devotion to you and use me to turn this world upside down.
