It’s In The Spirit!

In the wake of Lisa’s comments today I want to return to a couple of very big words: “Kingdom,” and “Church.”

The “Kingdom” of God is in The Spirit. It is not in the flesh. In fact The Kingdom of God is in the DNA of Jesus. It controls who we are and what we are to become. God is not counting on our flesh, God is counting on the DNA of His Son in us.

The word “church” has been so misunderstood and misrepresented it’s no wonder the world is in such confusion and the nations so offended. Our concern for the present here is not so much about the word “church,” but about Who is making the call. We who name the name of Christ have no business calling ourselves anything. We are first and last lovers in training. We need to focus on that/Him, and let the world call us what it will.

What the world needs to see is the first fruit of the Spirit – Love. This is what Jesus prayed and died for, and this is Who Jesus is in true believers by His Spirit. All the rest is talk.

A Word About Compassion

Before leaving, (for now) the category of political economy, lest my previous post seems heartless, I need to clear up any false impression where lack of compassion is concerned. Redistribution, so far as it is possible, should come from compassion, not the muzzle of a government gun pointed at taxpayers. Compassion does not work by force, it works by love – that’s the passion part of the deal.

Just Say No

In a free society, the government cannot entitle some to more than they can afford without enslaving those who are expected to pay for it. This is The Road To Serfdom.
