Chapter 7 Land ahoy! What is our Kingdom responsibility for the territory, the lands around us?

The Jews had responsibility for the land, the citizen and the foreigner.  God was at the top; his rule extended through the Land of Promise. 

We don’t have a place, or land, the Kingdom is within us.  And so, naturally, we don’t pay any attention to the world around us. We don’t pay attention to our cities, our towns, our neighborhoods or our neighbors.  We let the state handle social welfare issues.   We let the state handle education and civic issues.  We let the state do it all.  Why?  Maybe it is because we’re spiritual.   Everything is evil – right?  Making money is evil – but, giving money is good.  Politics are evil; lets include baseball, playing cards, hanging out with friends. We’re even against high heels and narrow ties.   How is that working out for us? 

And, how is that working out for our neighbors and our neighborhoods?  If we check out Jesus on this subject, he said to make disciplined followers where we live, that would be Judea; then to move out beyond our neighborhoods, that would be Jerusalem, and out an out until we impact nations!   Talk about Kingdom government responsibility!  We live on the LAND, here, now.  Yes, we are citizens of heaven living here – His ‘occupied terriority’ should be among us and reflect in every dimension of Kingdom society and culture.

Church is not in the New Testament - Reflections of the Ecclesia

1. Running the Human Race or Running on the Rodent Wheel?Maybe you have never heard this, but I have.People say, “Is this all there is to the Kingdom – going to church, being good. If I have an opportunity, sharing my faith…” Of course, we know there are the ‘special ones’ - those that have ‘callings’ and ‘ministries,’ then there is the rest of us. We work, maybe at home, maybe in an office, factory, shop or store. We have families, t-ball, soccer, never enough time for everything and usually…See More

Why the local church cannot be the Ekklesia!

It is the close of one week and the opening of the next.Last week was such a feast of understanding and revelation. We prepare to offer family and household training to others. Part of that preparation included a detailed analysis. Using the 7 levels of the 5 x 7 model: Globe, Nation, State, Community, Congregation, Small Group, and Individual, we looked at the responsibility of believers at each level. This created a model that told us some things.Here is what the model showed so clearly...You…See More

In search of common unity... community.

We are prone to ‘religion’. We need to face it. Religion can quickly morph into meaningless and repetitive rituals – devoid of a genuine encounter with God and our brothers and sisters. Consider communion, reliving the death of Christ and celebrating the life we have in him. There was one body, one loaf broken so that we can all participate. The Lord’s Supper is not just about celebrating what was in the past, it is also about recognizing what is here today. The one body of Christ is still…See More
