Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers…”, so it made sense with this month’s focus to take a look at Greg Holder’s book The Genius of One: God’s Answer for Our Fractured World.
Holder quotes Harvard professor Dean Williams who observes, “What we repeatedly see are systems breaking down—be they institutional systems, economic systems, political systems, or environmental systems, to name but a few—and we all frustratingly ask, ‘Where is the leadership?’”
Holder points out that it is time for the followers of Jesus to lead. With humility and courage, we must enter the chaos. We have to admit the sad truth: we have forgotten how to get along.
We Christians are certainly a part of the problem, but we also have a unique opportunity to be a radical part of the answer—an answer that bridges the gaps of generation, denomination, race, economics, culture, and even politics.
Holder aims to encourage partnerships between people and organizations, who by the grace of God and of his Spirit working through them could still change the world!
