Summary

Our foundations are being shaken to the very core. The history of our universities, public systems, and common ideals have been tossed to the side - and the Church has been negligent. With the council of scripture, we are warned constantly to not be asleep to the opportunities around us. Pastor Allen Jackson call on the Church to be awake to the active Spirit of God. To see the Spirit of God reign more vibrantly and intensely requires the hearts of His people to be engaged and active for His purposes. We have been called - you need only answer.
