As I reflect on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy and his "I
Have a Dream" speech in these troubled times, permit me to share once
more my dream:
I have a dream.
I have a
dream that this generation will recognize the image of God in every
human being, in and out of the womb, without exception.
I have a dream.
I
have a dream that Christ followers will stop hiding at the bottom of
the threshing floor and emerge as mighty heroes of righteousness and
justice.
I have a dream.
I have a dream
that as Christians we will be known not by what we oppose or attempt to
impose but rather by what we propose: eternal life through a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
I have a dream.
I
have a dream that the children of the cross realize that today's
complacency is tomorrow's captivity, that moral stagnation leads to
spiritual atrophy and that there is no such animal as comfortable
Christianity.
I have a dream.
I have a
dream that children will not be aborted, marriages will thrive, and
religious liberty will prevail for generations to come.
I have a dream.
I
have a dream that truth will never be sacrificed on the altar of
expediency, that love will overcome hate, and that the prophetic will
silence the pathetic.
I have a dream.
I
have a dream that this generation will reconcile Billy Graham's message
with Dr. King's march, sanctification with service and conviction with
compassion.
I have a dream
I have a
dream that one day we primarily see ourselves not as black, white, brown
or yellow, Hispanic, charismatic or automatic, but first and foremost
as children of the living God.
In Jesus' name, my dream will come to pass.
