The verse of the day: Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)—

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,

One person can have a great idea. They can put their hands to work toward accomplishing task in support of that idea, but until others hear of it, believe in it and put their hands to it, those with the ideas will have little success in meaningful change.

The Seventh Rule for Radicals—

The seventh rule: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time, after which it becomes a ritualistic commitment, like going to church on Sunday mornings.

What do you think about this rule? My perspective

Agree, look at Iraq and Afghanistan, Vietnam conflict

The word Militant is harsh.

Anti-neighborly, not friendly

Certainly not biblical

Can you hear Jesus talking about being Militant?

Certainly, battles that drag on become stale-Tea Party as an example It’s still here but seems to be lacking interest

I hope to never become ritualistic about going to church, and always hope to remain charged to play this chess game called politics

Examples of Grass Roots—

Perhaps one of the most successful movements was the Tea Party

Ushered in by disagreement with policies of Barack Obama

Driven into existence by Rick Santelli, Feb 2009 over the mortgage relief act

The ensuing tea party actions resulted in a 54 seat gain for Republicans in the House

Sentate Republicans gained 10 seats but not a majority

In some ways the movement halted most of Obama’s plans but not his executive orders

What is a grass roots movement?

Grassroots, type of movement or campaign that attempts to mobilize individuals to take some action to influence an outcome, often of a political nature. In practice, grassroots efforts typically come in two types: (1) efforts to mobilize individuals either to turn out to vote or to vote a certain way in an upcoming election and (2) efforts to mobilize individuals to contact a policymaker or other individual with influence to take a particular action (also called “outside lobbying”). The distinguishing features of grassroots movements or campaigns are that (1) they mobilize masses to participate in politics (such as contacting their legislator or turning out to vote) or some other cause and (2) they are conducted through narrow communications such as mail, e-mail, phone calls, or face-to-face visits rather than broadcast media such as television or radio.

Azuza Street Revival

Tea Party
