The Vision

"to live is Christ, to die is gain." This may sound like an odd verse to champion a generation of students who have sacrificed less than any American generation before them, but the 1twentyone team believes that it is such revolutionary words that will ignite this generation to pursue holiness. As we launch this blog for those who crave to be a generation that lives Christ with an eternal perspective, I would ask that you journal with me on how these 8 words motivate you to live differently.

As Paul wrote these words to the church at Philippi, he was inviting the men and women he had grown to love to realize they were more than mere humans lying in the wake of Christ's sacrifice. They were invited to the join the story of God by opening the door to true radical living. To live Christ to the world means revolutionary love, unrelenting pursuit, and a selfless lifestyle. Let's spend the next week discussing what it means to live Christ to the youth movement of this country. Feel free to leave comments as we continue our discussion.....
