The Gospel of the Kingdom Quotes

“As a leader, how prepared are you to relinquish control and be a servant, and your church or group become a sailboat and be swept along by the wind of His Spirit?”

“But sadly in this world, the self-centered rich and powerful rule and oppress and subjugate the weak and powerless. Like the poor, they are also not living out their purpose and design. They are also a horrible and ugly caricature of the image of God. So what then would the restoration of God’s Kingdom on earth mean for humankind? I believe it means the restoration of everything back to God’s original design beginning with what it means to be human. All dominion, authority and power would be destroyed (1 Cor.15:24-25, Jer.1:10). The values of this world would be turned upside down. “Mountains” would come down for “valleys” to be filled and raised up (Lk.3:4:14). Wealth and power and poverty and oppression, will all be levelled out (2 Cor.8:13).”

“But when I studied the New Testament carefully I discovered that we are saved, not from hell to heaven, but from Satan’s kingdom to God’s Kingdom. Col.1:13 says “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.”

“God’s Kingdom can reign only in those who are humble, or who are poor in spirit (who are broken and contrite within : Isa.57:15, Isa.66:1-2). For those who have been rejected by the kingdoms of this world, God’s Kingdom is obviously good news.”
