Colony of Heaven, A (eBook)

I’d like to share with you a vision.  I understand it to be the Lord’s vision of His Church (the Ekklesia), as seen in the New Testament scriptures:  A multi-ethnic community of people who celebrate Jesus above their ethnicities – namely, a church built upon the Foundation of Christ, rather than built upon any homogeneous grouping, ethnic affiliation, or cultural distinctive.

Christ, Culture, & The Church (eBook)

In His prayer to the Father in John 17, Jesus said that both He and His people (the Ekklesia) are in the world, but not of the world.  Throughout church history, it has been, and still is, very difficult for the Church to understand this paradox, and has been even more difficult for the Church to embody its spiritual realities. The Church is to represent a heavenly King and a heavenly Kingdom. Herein lies the challenge: How do we effectively

Doing Good (eBook)

“Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let’s do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” Galatians 6:9-10 We can conclude from a survey of the New Testament that Christians – individually and collectively, have been called to “do good” for the poor. But it is evident that for the most part

Proclamation (eBook)

Praise as a Spiritual Weapon “Speaking Truth to Power”. This has become a rhetorical stock phrase. To what extent are we aware of the Powers behind “the power”? “Praise the Lord.” Has this become just religious jargon? Do we truly understand what it means to praise the Lord? “Spiritual Warfare”. Do we know the nature of the battle and the weapons? “A sacrifice of praise”. What is that?

Way of God & The Way of Humanity, The (eBook)

The Difference Between Theology & Politics: The Kingdom of the Lord and His Christ & The kingdoms of this World What I have to offer in this article is at variance with current conventional “Evangelical” perspectives and political activities.(In fact, it also flies in the face of the disposition of most “Progressive Christians”, as well as most non-Christians.) What I am referring to is this: The current conventional “Evangelical” perspective is a misunderstanding and a misrepresentation of the Kingdom of

Mysteries of God, The (eBook)

~ The Incarnation & Atonement ~ His Kingdom & Righteousness ~ The Kingdom of God is a mystery. Many have misunderstood this mystery and consequently have also misrepresented the Kingdom of God in the earth. If we do not understand the mystery of the Incarnation, we will not understand the mystery of the Atonement. And, if we do not understand the mystery of the Atonement, we will not understand the mystery of His Righteousness. And so, if we do not

Kingdom Households (eBook)

A Governing Principle: Bearing One Another’s Burdens & The Law of Christ In this article I point out that using the Hebrew nation as a prototype, God established the concept of tribes – extended family households – as a model for His kingdom people. I am calling this model “Kingdom Households”, and proposing that this is still a model for God’s kingdom people, the Church, which is His Body. (The Ecclesia which Jesus is building). These are the specific proposals
