The Vision
Born and raised in inner city Detroit I (Adam Thomason, vision caster for the Red Revolution) allowed my culture to be my GOD. So often we allow our culture to define and Lord who we are. From the way that we dress, music we listen to, food we eat, to who we hang out with and consider “cool”. Where we go wrong as people (in the words of Matt Chandler) is “when we consider our way of life as “The way” instead of “a way”; meaning that “our way of life is the best way, and anyone living life differently doesn’t measure up.”
This has been the problem through out the history of society and culture, from the hood to the high society, from the Asian to the American, but without the lens of Christ how and why would we expect people to change. The tragedy and epidemic does not exist with people who do not know Christ. But those who claim to be reproducers of Christ and still hold to a form of racism, classism, or economicalism. To think that your way of living is the only approach to life is limiting Christ to your culture. Limiting Christ to one culture and one way of thinking shows that you see the world according to the lens of society and not according to the lens of Christ.
The vision of Red Revolution is to be more than an event but a movement, a change, with one question and one challenge. The question “What color are you?” is meant to focus on the obvious. Asking you “does your skin color and cultural ways define and Lord your Christianity? Or does the fact that you are “RED” through of the blood of Christ rule and Lord your life as a Christian?” Why see nothing but red? Because those are the lens that Christ saw through as he approached life. Seeing the world through the lens of Christ is the “REVOLUTION” that will cure this epidemic and change what has been the cause of segregated Christianity, which in and of itself is a contradiction.
There is a glory to cultural differences that goes back to the glory and many layers of GOD. But culture was never intended to replace GOD like it has done in Christianity. Click below to see what it means to be RED, see the world through lens of Christ, thus becoming apart of the “RED REVOLUTION”
