I was just reading a friends blog the other day; the comment that struck me (because it so prevalent amongst Christians today, including myself at one time) was "it's all going to burn." Now... who in their right mind would invest yourself into something that is going to burn? <BR/><BR/>With 2000+ years behind us as a church, I think its imperative that we start to rethink the kingdom and what its suppose to look like. Like the parables you mentioned and other clues in the scripture, we ought to gather that it (the kingdom) doesn't look like with thought it would. <BR/><BR/>I do not ask that You taken them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one ~ Jesus (John 17:15)<BR/><BR/>SOOOO many more thoughts on this.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464286598026707059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751371.post-68999335604875182452007-12-20T16:48:00.000-08:002007-12-20T16:48:00.000-08:00Joshua, i was/ am gonna post this on "unity and di...Joshua, <BR/><BR/>i was/ am gonna post this on "unity and diverstiy" as i thought it fit for contribution there as well. <BR/>As far as leaving you hanging with the ... at the end of the post, i figured i was doing everyone a favour by not rambling on and on. Although this was more a rough draft of something i hope to develop alot more in the future, i really see these two aspects needing to be re-worked within the walls of christendom. I think the academy has certain assumption which the laity lacks and these two aspects being part.Chris Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673721640207294715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751371.post-42388971052377765882007-12-20T16:31:00.000-08:002007-12-20T16:31:00.000-08:00wait a minute--did you leave us hanging at the end...wait a minute--did you leave us hanging at the end of the post.

I’ve always appreciated the words of Dunn concerning the now of the Kingdom: “Paul’s gospel was eschatological not because of what he still hoped would happen, but because of what he believed had already happened,” which was the expected end (resurrection) invading the middle. In trying to bring the truth of inaugurated eschatology into practical everyday affairs, Dunn is helpful as well when he gets to the heart of praxis: “What matters is the fact that the powers of the 'age to come' are already shaping lives and communities, as they would also in due course shape the cosmos.” What it comes down to then is allowing the life to come, the new creation, to play out moment by moment in the present—because it is present in the Holy Spirit, through whom we perform the works of new creation (Gal 5:22-23). Praise God for Him invading our lives!<BR/><BR/>Hope things are well for you!Skjouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03277140170259321095noreply@blogger.com
