I agree 100%. My wife and I and many others in our circle call it being “kingdom minded” Christians. God is about His kingdom and His glory. Through His love, grace and mercy He invites us to be a part of it. The problem with much of “Americanized” Christianity is that many people have it reversed. Instead of being a part of God’s kingdom they expect God to be a part of their kingdom. The perspective is reversed and has lead to so much of the complacency, and justification of selfishness and sin that we see in so many churches. When we are focused on God’s kingdom it changes everything, how we look at scripture, how we treat our wives, raise our kids, view our occupation, serve our community, view politics and on and on.We might not be of the same theology or have a similar worship style but we sure agree on this. Seeing those memes just made me sick. I think that’s the political discussion we’re having here, church first, Christ first, politics down the list.
I’ve had a few replies started but didn’t finish, considering what the nature of this thread is, knowing I could derail it. At the same time, I believe we are all more alike than we are different and we can handle this discussion.
I do agree with @Ziggidy with all his ‘how could you’ questions; I’ll vote for Trump but not as the savior that many equate him to be, not even as the chosen that many think he is.
If he was chosen it wouldn’t even be a race.
We’re living in the upside down.
ETA! And the youngsters know it, and want something better!
I think we have a similar mind set on faith and politics. Voting matters and I see it as a sacred right as an American that I will not take for granted. But Gods kingdom comes first and regardless of who the president is God is in control and He has a plan and a purpose. I have some road time coming up later and I’ll listen to the podcast you posted.
