Chaos theory has been around for several decades. It has been applied to many branches of science. You may have heard about it as the “butterfly effect.” The theory is: “If a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, could it result in a hurricane that hits Texas?”
It may seem far-fetched at first. However, the general idea is that our actions can have much greater impact than we might imagine. For a few minutes, think about chaos theory in light of the Christian movement, your church, and your life as a believer. Think also about this unique moment in history when it seems chaos comes at us from every direction.
