Battlecry for this generation...
Did you know only 4% of this generation will come to know Jesus? Are you angry yet? If you've heard these words, you've probably been listening to Ron Luce, master and champion of Battlecry. I was reading an article today about a recent Battlecry event in San Francisco this past weekend & the weekend included Jesus loving students holding signs in SF stating: "Homosexuality is a Sin." I can feel the love even as I sit here in my comfy chair. A self proclaimed "activist" wrote an article quoting Luce: “This is war. And Jesus invites us to get into the action, telling us that the violent—the ‘forceful’ ones—will lay hold of the kingdom.” Let's get violent for Jesus!
I had the wonderful, joyful, bless-ed, opportunity to hear Ron speak last year at a 4square youth conference. I think the guy wants to do good, but I think his methods are a bit off. He throws around plenty of alarming statistics, & wants people to get angry about what's going on in America. Is this productive? Moses, are you planning a battlecry trip? You could make your own signs are go down to UNR and...oh, somebody's already claimed UNR as their spot for their spreading of the "good news." You can check out battle cry & teen mania if it interests you. Are you angry yet?

I totally agree. Fear God. He could f you up. There is a reason the Bible is called the sword.
Did you know it's a double edged sword? That is twice the smitting power.
where does he get these numbers? misusing statistics is the same as lying, and tends to be about as calculated as lying gets. i dislike this guy already.
Moses loves Ron Luce. You should ask him about it. I think he has Ron's autograph.
It's funny (not actually funny) how this stuff spreads. There was an event on campus a month ago where they were throwing around that stat. I wondered where they got it from...
and now I know.
i don't know. it seems like there is a fine line between churches i have gone to. some seem totally fundamentalist and some seem really traditional. i am from the midwest and as far as i can tell, this luce guy is off his rocker. i just hope that hillside isn't as hypocritical as some of the other pentacostal churches in the area. they preach and judge and don't give a whole lot back to the community they live in. if the church is solid where it counts; family, friendship, and loving, then it will be just like the others, a big "yes sir, whatever you say sir", but don't live it church. i hope for the best because i feel pretty out of place.
