Surrender the Kingdom

What kind of kingdom are you building? What kind of kingdom are you contributing to? Is your faith in an ideology? Is it faith in a political group that they see the threat we see and we trust them? Maybe it’s hope placed in a cause. maybe it’s hope placed in people who profess to be Christian, and they say they have the answers, and you haven’t noted the red flag that they’re proposing Jesus plus something else is the answer. Maybe your kingdom, your outlook is, “Just leave me my farm, my neighborhood, and my personal freedoms, God, and You take care of everything else.” Jesus didn’t come to Israel and say to His Father, “just give me my carpentry business, and a family, and I’ll live and die quietly, and you take care of the rest Father.”
