Can we recognize the Kingdom of God as a present reality?
"Let My People Go!" is more than a call to discipleship. It is a call to the resurrected life of the Church of Jesus Christ. The resurrected life rises into action by looking around our congregations to see who is sitting in the back row and learning from their witness as well as from their pain. It is a life in admission that the loud, bellicose, wealthy and perhaps even apostate may be drowning out the faithful and thereby squelching the witness of the Church.
Inspiring stories should not lead us to revere people, but rather to revere God.
We Americans have been pre-programmed with an eternal search for a marketing niche. As a result, sadly, the Gospel of the present, dynamic, victorious Kingdom of God has been scuttled in favor of measurable, material success. The minute we begin to think that it is up to us to keep God's Plan alive, we have lost the game.
As Christians we are called to live a life that is often contrary to the world. We must persevere in freeing ourselves from sin to be truly free in Christ.
The foxes in the lives of believers can deceive and drive us to engage in external religious practices without a true dependence on Christ.
I am pumped over the potential for renewal and rebirth! Our nation at long last is firmly in the hands of a bastion of pseudo-Christians exempted from any need for repentance. As a member of a thin minority within both Evangelicalism and American politics, I can hope for no less than God's corrective hand on our nation and on His Church! Ready to suffer the pains of nationbirth without the relief of abortion? Try the present, dynamic, triumphant Kingdom of God!
