How many times have we wanted all the facts and knowledge on some topic before we were willing to step out in faith and do what God has asked?

Imagine the unity we could experience if we simply followed Paul’s advice: “Let him who boasts boat in the Lord.”

We will not win the world for Christ by any political platform or through any new way of thinking. Jesus views us all through the same redemptive lens and he calls us to respond to each other on that basis.

When I read Scripture I constantly find verses that challenge my thinking and, more specifically, my behavior or lack of action. I get uncomfortable at the reminder that the kingdom of God is different from the many kingdoms on earth demanding our attention or allegiance.
