The Wake Up Call Organization

The Wake Up Call Organization that is being formed to bring refreshness to the table of discussion. So, pull out your recliner, get you a drink and a bit to eat. Chill out while you flip through the pages of conversation that can regenerate, revive oneself—excite and refresh you. But more so, bring newness in your life.

Just to reflect a little, in Bible times, wine was not kept in glass bottles but in goat skins sewn around the edges to form watertight bags. New wine expanded as it fermented, stretching its wine skin. After the wire had aged the stretched skin would burst if more new wine was poured into it. New wine, therefore, was always put into new wine skins.

Jesus used this description to explain that he had not come to patch up the old religious system of Judaism with its rules and traditions. His purpose was to bring in something new, though it had been prophesied for centuries. This new message, the gospel, said that Jesus Christ—God's son—came to Earth to offer all people forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God. The gospel did not fit into the old rigid legal system of religion. It needed a fresh start.

The message will always remain new because it must be accepted and applied in every generation. When we follow Christ, we must be prepared for new ways to live, new ways to look at people, and new ways to serve our communities, neighborhoods, juvenile facilities, schools, prisons, jails, government, America and other nations.

It's time to take off them weights of problems that's been weighing you down. Let Grand Live to the fullest in newness. Whatever you want to get back, it's your season.
