Quoting The 15 Revolution

The following are quotes from Paul Scanlon’s book: The 15 Revolution…

The 15 Revolution is as simple – and as difficult – as being willing to give 15 minutes a day to be inconvenienced in order to help someone. It is being willing to give 15 minutes a day to be interrupted, distracted, diverted or delayed. 15 minutes to add value to someone else’s world.

It sounds simple, I know, but what makes it difficult is how ‘hard wired’ we are against being inconvenienced, interrupted or delayed.

I’m not trying to offer some complex new theology or evangelistic concept. This is more about mobilization than theology. Because we are all selfish by nature, we do not default to helping others. So, without a revolution of some kind, that innate selfishness always wins in the end.

To slow down is anti-cultural.

The 15 Revolution sets out to reverse this trend, to make us more aware of the people in our immediate space and to provoke us to be the bringers of God’s life to the hurting world on our doorstep.

God is always willing to be inconvenienced to reach someone and so must we.

We are going to have to step outside of our routines, plans and agendas if we want to join the 15 Revolution and embrace inconvenience as our friend.
