Here are the top
5 trends that will define our culture’s future more than any other:
Speed – Life is getting quicker and
quicker and it’s only going to increase in momentum. The blinding rate of
change will touch every aspect of your life.
Complexity – Life is becoming
increasingly complex and multi-dimensional. The complexity of life will impact
every sphere of society including your personal life.
Risk – As much as we seek safety and
security, life in the future will involve greater risk. We will all be exposed
to new risk and higher risks.
Change – If you don’t adapt quickly
to an ever-changing environment you will simply be overwhelmed by the force of
change. You need to embrace flexibility.
Surprise – Life is full of surprises
and they will come almost daily in the future. Your sense of logic and process
will be interrupted by sudden-lies.
How do we respond to the interplay of
these challenging dynamics in our lives? I think it’s so important to be
informed and forewarned. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. If you know
something is coming your way, you can better anticipate it and prepare for it.
I think it’s important that we place
our faith in what will stand strong in the midst of the cultural upheaval that
is happening around us. Jesus said, ‘In this world you will have tribulation
but take heart I have overcome the world.’ Faith in Jesus is going to be an
even bigger issue in the future as cultural super-shifts test our anxiety levels
and undermine our shallow values.
The future is fast approaching and
the church needs to be prepared for it. A new wineskin is needed for the new
wine that God wants to pour through the church to meet the needs that will
surface as a result of the massive forces that will shape our world.
The Oracle!
