The Rise of 'Agency' – A Cultural Cry for Lost Power

🎉 Episode 3 in the series: Rise of ‘Agency’ – A Cultural Cry for Lost Power 🎉🔥 Jubilee Freedom series continues—reclaiming biblical agency to co-labor with Christ! 🔥The word “gency” has exploded in culture: your capacity to act intentionally amid constraints. ✅Agency has its roots in Enlightenment (Locke), ✅The term surges in the 1980s–90s sociology—“practice theory” resisting systems.✅Agency bridges Marxism (collective class struggle) to democratic socialism (gradual reform, collective empowerment). ✅Critics see deception—trajectory toward Marxist collectivism, threatening true freedom.✅Often frames losses from perceived systemic barriers (race, economy, poverty, even in "climate")—turning personal agency into collective redress, state-mediated, risking idolatry of government over God.✅History warns: Marxist systems abolish deity, elevate state—millions dead in purges/famines, morality relativized. ✅No pure version of Marxism has EVER been established nor endures; due to the fallen heart and soul of every human ✅iMarxism always results in authoritarian collapse without God as arbiter.Yet Christ restores YOU! 🙌📖 Genesis 1:27 – Made in God’s image📖 Deuteronomy 30:19 – Free will to choose life📖 John 8:36 – “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed”📖 Isaiah 43:19 – He does a new thing📖 Revelation 21:5 – Making all things new📖 Romans 8:15 – Adopted as sons📖 Romans 8:17 – Joint-heirs with ChristTrue agency: Spirit-empowered stewardship—boldness & gusto for Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), under grace!Where has your sense of Biblical agency slipped?
