Kingdom of God

I am reading an old book by E. Stanley Jones. Jones is one of the great international evangelists of the 1920s and 30s. He was a Methodist evangelist, friend of Ghnadi’s and a man passionate for the lost in India, China and the world.

The book I am reading is Christ’s Alternative to Communism. And I am re-reading is book titled – Unshakable Kingdom – Unchanging Person. Both books dramatize in thought the power of the Kingdom of God.

As i re-read Jones i find why i am not comfortable with the Democratic party nor the Republican Parry. And I am certainly not a marxist. I do not believe the state can solve the core issues the world faces to be humane and effective. It never has and never will. It can definitely solve many problems but not the core ones that trip us up. Human laziness and selfishness for just a couple. And Darwinian capitalism is no less benign from my view point. And I should add E. Stanley Jones.

If the church were promoting the Kingdom of God rather than getting its political identity form parties far from God we would have greater impact.

I think it is a Kingdom perspective that business owners would to business not just to give to their church nor for profit only but also to give people jobs and increase the level of living for their employees. This is a good thing. We either sing up for darwinian capitalism or we align with the sentimentalism of socialism. We see business as the way we can pay for churches or an evil entity.

What if a man or woman called into business saw their call to provide a product to make life better for humanity in order to honor God? Wouldn’t things be different. What if businesses were loyal to their personnel? I think these are kingdom perspectives.

The Kingdom can be affirmed and encouraged by government and ti will change society permanently and better than the state could ever imagine. We are seeing in our day a wide open door for the Kingdom of God to expand.

In all the places you can,
At all times you can,
