What is God’s Demographic Target?

May 16, 2023 by Ray Hollenbach Articles, Strategy

god's demographics
God's demographic is oneness—the kind of oneness that spans the gaps and unifies people of every nation, tribe, and tongue.
In that moment when God chose to launch his ends-of-the-earth initiative, he chose to bring people together. Using God’s demographic Jesus indiscriminately poured out a one-size-fits-all solution on everyone: the true demographic of the church is the Holy Spirit.

The earliest Christians learned again and again the work of the Spirit. The Comforter broke boundaries and distinctions worldwide. The Spirit of Christ favored one people, “neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female . . . all one in Christ Jesus.” (Gal 3:19)

The Lord’s method was part of his message. He broke down barriers. One faith, one baptism, one hope, one Lord. The book of Revelation, that crazy picture of the moment when time itself is rolled up like a cloak, paints a picture of the Forever Days: there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.  (Revelation 7:9)

God is a sweet community within Himself: Father, Son, and Spirit. Even in the midst of the Trinity’s sharp distinctions and clear identity there radiates oneness. What keeps us from imitating his example?
