Three years after early Christians were persecuted under Nero for the
burning of Rome in A.D. 64, the apostle Peter wrote his fellow
believers: "Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the
world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of
doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day
he visits us" (1 Peter 2.11-12).
And that is exactly what the young Christ followers did-- forming a
vibrant community of faith that was radically committed to holy living
, generosity and compassion.
From a marginalized and misunderstood minority, the Early Christians
became a culture-changing community of such irresistable influence
that the watching world of non-believers couldn't help but confess
that the presence of Jesus was among them.
And so they became: the kind of church only God could get credit for.
At Liquid, we're far from being a perfect church-- but we are striving
to build a community that actually makes a difference in this world
that God so loves.
