CHURCH NEWS - Sunday, 05 February 2012 |
Let's be Kingdom People"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." I am currently reading Mike Frost's book; "The Road to Missional". It is a challenging book like anything else he writes. In this book i read the following: "Kingdom people seek first the Kingdom of God and its justice; church people often put church work above concerns of justice, mercy and truth. Church people think about how to get people into the church; Kingdom people think about how to get the church into the world. Church people worry that the world might change the church; Kingdom people work to see the church change the world." (Howard Snyder quoted by Mike Frost) I don't know about you but I want to be a kingdom person rather than just a church person. Ironically of course, in being kingdom people we make for healthier church people. People who are concerned with the broader concerns of the kingdom, realise that God's purposes are not just about my church but a much broader reality known as the kingdom of God. So let's be good neighbours, good friends, good workers who are concerned for God's justice, his purposes in the world beyond the front door of our church so that his kingdom will come and his will, will be done. Grace and peace from Marcus "He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come." (Luke 11:2) |
