I stayed up late last night and watched “V for Vendetta.” The movie was made by the people who did the Matrix trilogy.
V is Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (NATALIE PORTMAN) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man (HUGO WEAVING) known only as “V.†Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V’s mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself – and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.
After watching the movie (by the way, there are some great fight scenes and explosions) I thought about the church global. We are Plateaued and declining across the board, but we go on as if there is some totalitarian entity making us just live with it. As in the movie, sometimes we don’t act because we don’t know better. Folks, if we will open our eyes, we’ll see that there is a revolution going on around us in churches that are fighting the status quo and making an impact. We need not go on just to go on. We need to be renewed, by what God has done, and is doing, and then join the fight to change the church as we know it into the Army God intended it to be.
