It was a wonderful weekend for Carol and me as we journeyed into Manhatten to spend time with our youngest son.
As part of the visit we met and worshipped with his church family that meets at several different sites at both the Upper East Side and in the heart of the financial district.
It was an interesting contrast to see the "protesters of Wall Street" juxtaposed against the "prayers on Wall Street" who were taking quietly peaceful positions of praying for change, not simply demonstrating for it.
It's not my intent to demean or even comment on the motivations or desires of the protesters. It is, however, my desire to elevate the incredibly devoted commitment that I witnessed in the next generation of leaders that populate just one church in a very influential city in our nation.
These quiet bands of disciples are everywhere and what we simply need to do is to see them multiply if we're really to make a difference and affect the trajectory of our culture for Kingdom values.
Blessings in Jesus!
Dr. Jay
