Sometimes we describe ourselves as trees. When we're thriving, we speak of being rooted and fruitful, in a good season. When we struggle, we might describe ourselves as withering, cut off from friendship and the world. These ways of describing ourselves matter because they shape the ways we live. But in a world dominated by efficiency, we have begun to use more unforgiving metaphors. We speak of ourselves as computers: we process things, we recharge. In doing so, we come to expect of ourselves an exhausting, relentless productivity.

At times, our chaotic world reveals hints of the utter brokenness in which we live, like a peek behind the veneer.

In fact, our frustrating and exhausting experience with chaos, injustice, and corruption is much like that of the distressed prophet Habakkuk in the Old Testament.

When many consider modern Christianity, they rightly wonder how we have come so far from the dynamic supernatural community pictured in the Book of Acts. God did not change between then and now. What happened? Could it be that in our quest to be relevant, entertaining, hip, and appealing to modern culture, we have lowered the standard for the Christian life? We need a true revival that restores Christianity to the standard found in Acts Chapter 2.
