Late last year, we once again observed the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. And though we have many reasons to rejoice that this wall came down, I continue to experience, on a daily basis, its lasting impact on the lives of those living in former Easter Berlin. Over 99% of my neighbors do not know Christ, as Lord and Savior. The physical barrier has been removed, but other “walls” still hold people in darkness.
Three “unseen” walls that I see here on a daily basis are:
Atheistic mindset - Berlin has been described as the capital of atheism.
Postmodern worldview - Whatever is right for you is ok.
Family Pressure - Those who do come to faith are usually the first Christians in their families and are not supported in their faith by their families.
Thankfully, we serve a great God who is in the business of breaking down spiritual walls! In the midst of unbelief, the power of the Gospel continues to transform lives - one at a time.
