Changing the world doesn't have to be so complicated.

I am not political.  I never have been.  To be completely honest, I have always heaped politics into the same category as sports.  It is an area that some people worry and fight over, and no matter how passionate they are, their time and energy is wasted trying to argue their point.
Please do not misunderstand, I think it is vitally important as God's people to research political candidates, form an educated, biblically sound opinion, and vote accordingly. That is a huge responsibility of ours, and I do not take that lightly.  Our country is facing a lot of huge issues that need divine intervention.  However, when was the last time you have seen a senator, congressman, or even a president change the world?

The truth of the matter is, generally, politicians do not change the world.  We do.

Revolutions, Movements and Revivals do not take root in our government.  They take root in passionate people, who act on their convictions.
Changing the world doesn't have to be so complicated.

For an example, There once was an average guy named Steve.  Steve was a blue collar, paycheck to paycheck worker.  On the job, Steve would just casually, but intentionally stumble into conversations about the gospel with his coworkers.  Most of them thought he was crazy.  However, one of his coworkers secretly listened to what he had to say.  Steve would leave gospel tracks and New Testament Bibles laying around, and when Steve wasn't looking, this coworker would snatch them up, and read them in private.  One day Steve's coworker worked up the courage to ask Steve if he could go to his church, just to check it out.  He wanted Jesus.  The very next opportunity he had, Steve brought his coworker to his church.  His coworker intently listened to the preacher's sermon, he was on the edge of his seat, and couldn't wait for the invitation.  When the invitation came, Steve and his coworker walked the isle, and Steve's coworker asked Jesus into his heart.

Odds are, this story is cheesy to you.  But it means a lot to me.  Steve's coworker was my dad.
After my dad gave his life to Christ, he was called to preach, then to plant churches.  Long story short, all because of Steve, who I don't even know, I was raised in a Christian home.  In a way, anything I do in ministry are the fruits of Steve's labor.  During my father's ministry, he has planted over 100 churches and led thousands upon thousands of people to Christ.  Some have went on to start their own ministries, some just spread the gospel like Steve did.  Regardless, Blue Collar Steve changed the world in a huge way.  His acts of casual evangelism will change the lives of millions.
That is mind blowing.

Steve had no idea, and may still have no idea how he changed the world.  He was just doing what he could for God.  He wasn't a Dwight Lyman Moody or a Charles Haddon Spurgeon.  He was a Steve.
God is not calling all of us to be "Heros of the Faith" he is calling many of us to just be average people, showing others His love.

The love of Christ is powerful enough to change the world through us.
We don't have to be awesome. Christ already is.
