Kingdom Quote 61. All of life is about identity and trust. With Whom and with what do we identify, and in Whom and in what do we trust.

Kingdom Quote 62. It’s cryptic that both the Lord Jesus and His arch-enemy Satan are both described as “lions.” One is for eternal death, and the other is for eternal life.

Kingdom Quote 63. The #1 sin in the western world today is a wholesale lack of the fear of the Lord. Consequently, a holy transcendent Father God who reveres His kingdom and King gets treated like a harmless baby manger Jesus. From this flows all the ridiculous behavior we witness based on Satan’s tempting distractions like worshipping politicians, irreconcilable denominations, and meaningless bible food fights that never preserve the unity of the Spirit, majoring in trying to fix Satan’s world, and dismissing God’s eventual wrath on those church people who disobey His clear commands. All this is gross foolishness. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…and of all true doctrine.

Kingdom Quote 64. The world has much glory for the worldly. The evil one is in control of who receives it. I’ve had many conversations with so-called believers who declare the worldly pleasures they receive are actually a blessing from God. “How do you know for certain,” I proclaim, “that these aren’t actually a curse and a failure on your part to reject them to remain content with what you already have?”

Kingdom Quote 65. Some church folks complain we shouldn’t spend any effort to warn about the New World Order and its coming antichrist. What would they say to Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Zechariah, Micah, and Malachi who warned the church of the day about the Babylonians and Assyrians? Or Jesus Christ who warned to be on the alert against the Romans who destroyed Jerusalem for good and killed over a million people?

Kingdom Quote 66. Grief is the intense, deep sadness of emotional suffering and affliction from acute sorrow, distress, and mourning caused by a loss, disaster, misfortune, or regret.

Kingdom Quote 67. Christian church people by and large are looking for easy validation, not the whole truth.

Kingdom Quote 68. Salvation in Christ is not “free” as those in the West count free. The Western idea of an unconditional gift simply did not exist in the first century and does not exist in what we call majority world cultures. Grace as God intended it is in the context of patronage. We owe Him everything we have and will ever become. God is the patron and we’re the clients. The client is at the beck-and-call of the patron to do whatever he asks. It’s an unwritten mutual commitment. Avoid the cheap grace that pervades the false western gospel.

Kingdom Quote 69. To those of us in the Spirit as we read and hear God’s holy Word, we humbly but expectantly wait for Christ to bring us revelation. This holy revelation will indubitably enlighten our spirit with His Holy Spirit’s truth. Amen…

In contrast, the modern culture in the west that pervades the entire planet and has also successfully invaded the church employs a lens that subtlety promotes the individual and not the body at large. Both the Bible and history have proven the overwhelming destructiveness and curse of individualism.

This evil lens must be combatted at every turn. God’s will must be clearly seen and obeyed for the abundant life! The lens of our Lord is the only path to eternal life.

Kingdom Quote 70. We hear a lot about “balance” in Christian evangelical circles. The true and eternal gospel is never ever about “balance.” A mid-east rabbi who claims to be God and falls asleep in the back of a boat in a hurricane is not leading a “balanced” life. It’s an other-worldly radical proclamation that in contrast reveals no truck with a tepid, supposedly safe, neither hot nor cold message. Our charge is to integrate all the elements of His gospel so that we may all keep Christ’s commandments without stain or blemish! It’s the normal Christian life.
