In these modern, ‘progressive’ times; we believers simply don’t ‘get it’.   Some are confused thinking we will impose Kingdom rule on the unbeliever.  Others are confused thinking that meeting on Sunday morning for prayer, praise and the ministry of the word is “IT”.    Many are just beginning to pay attention to the word ‘Kingdom’ and think it might be a good idea, but have no idea what it might actually mean.

God’s wisdom should be shown to everyone through his ecclesia. 

Now, the following is REAL COMPLICATED.  So, read carefully.

Do you suppose, if we learn how to use God’s wisdom to govern ourselves, to provide for our families, to create a strong KINGDOM economy, to handle –in RIGHTEOUSNESS – our civil disputes, to properly EDUCATE our children in all facets of citizenship- to be good Kingdom Kids, to read/write and work effectively for a living, to take care of our NEEDY, to take responsibility for the good of our local neighborhoods and communities, etc..   Do you suppose, do you just suppose that if we DID it and DID it well that we would be salt and light to a dying world?

Perhaps we would say, “This is what we do.  Try it. It works.  Oh, and doing things this way is not OUR idea.  It is God’s wisdom.  Imagine –the ecclesia taking responsibility and doing what needs to be done – demonstrating God’s wisdom.  This is Kingdom governance.  It may be ‘novel’ to our ears.  But when Jesus left things to the early believers, they did it.

Is anyone interested in being part of the HEAD or are we content being the TAIL?

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
