Consider that Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit to those ( his original Apostles and disciples) who were teaching His Gospel of the Kingdom, in order to guide/keep them on the path of the Kingdom. The HS was a shepherd for those who knew and accepted the ways of the Kingdom/governance of...

You may find... That life is not about what you make of it but how you handle what it dishes out.. That no matter how hard you try, your good may never be good enough.. That your good intentions can and will be misinterpreted.. That others will continually twist the truth to suit themselves...

People have said that the Bible is about salvation from punishment as a result of sin, about we His church of grafted heirs (and even brides) which make us a special new creation. Sure... ok, that is a watered down version, and that has described our self perceived appearance, but not what is...

If we see ourselves as good or righteous (even though Jesus asks who is good) we lose sight of the fact we are self serving humans who often seek gain at the expense of others. In remembering who we are by nature until death, we see what a futile world we have made in our own image, and can more...

It is hard for the world of man to admit that we have it all backwards, so it foolishly just keeps trying to improve itself while driving in reverse. Luke 16: 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly...

What good is all the theology in the world if we don't show the contrast between the 'self' serving will of man and the 'other' oriented will of God... the clash and counter-culture between Kingdom and world of man? What is the good of talking of all sorts of sins when the only and original sin...

Many people make the claim that they are included as the ' bride' of Jesus. Rev 21:9-10 and beyond makes it clear that the bride is not man. That 'bride' misconception by humans is a result of Christianity setting aside the Kingdom for self interest instead, seen in the governance and theology...

I was recently driving from the summer place back to the winter one. Along the way I had made numerous split second decisions such as taking an alternate scenic route, not stopping for the usual coffee, passing a slower vehicle, even slamming on the brakes to stop and take a sudden photo op...

Living outside the box is a statement against the ways of man in itself. You have heard of being in the world but not of it. Living outside the box is living outside the world man has built upon our own image, living instead in the counter-culture to the culture of man, the Kingdom. Jesus said...

The ONLY gospel Jesus taught was the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, both a place and a governance. The Kingdom represents a culture contrary to the world man has made in our image. His early followers came to be know as 'haters of man' for their refusal to adhere to the system which man has...

God knows how to use rebellious man for His own purposes, which He has done and still does. There was a movement which was to represent an opposite way to the ways of man. Once upon a time in the fourth century, a power hungry faction of the movement whored itself to the ways of man and...

Have you considered that the return of the Father to dwell among man and to govern over us was Jesus' Gospel of the Kingdom... and also of prime importance in the beginning of the Lord's Prayer? The rest of the prayer addressed our time and needs here in earth and asks we be delivered from the...

We interpret according to our understanding of the moment, be it self discovered or more often the result of input of the ideas of others. This second matter was what prompted Jesus to speak of the blind leading the blind. What Jesus said was that we needed a solid foundation to work out from...

We either follow the will of God, or we follow the will of man. One nature or the other. We are a combination of the two, yet the will of man is our baser biological instinct, the one we use in order to survive. We as humans, in comparison to our mammalian family, go a step beyond in developing...

Jesus summed up the purpose of His being, and thus what became Christianity, in the Lord's Prayer by way of what He said in regards to the Father. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven". Rather than focusing on the return of the Kingdom of God and His actual governance...

Jesus said to cast seeds. They will fall where they may, good soil and bad soil. Each will find their own set of conditions to struggle with. It is not up to the sower to determine how those seeds grow. That is not our job, for in doing so we contaminate the outcome with our own weed gene of...

For those paying attention, the events of the past year were foretold of in the previous year as what will be the beginnings of the 'Great Reset'; a time where nations and corporations of the world have jumped on the build back better bandwagon of this reset movement in order to 'save' mankind...

We live in a deluded world. Perhaps the most deluded world since the beginning of time. This piece is being written during what many are calling the great ''plandemic' of our lifetime. It has shone a light on the values of many today. Those values seem not to be care or concern for the well...

Perhaps if churches talked about the governance (Kingdom) of God being the preferred allegiance instead of trying to fit God into the governance of man most seem interested in, they might make some headway. Ritual and tradition serves little purpose when it focuses on the me me me aspect of...

Well, the Pope signed on with the World Economic Forum the other day, joining ranks with many prominent rabbis in giving credibility to the new un-elected corporate/state world government, promoting itself as what could be described as the long awaited saviour of mankind. A re-affirmation of a...
