I too was raised in the dispensational church and could never lay hold of the defining difference between the two.<br /><br />I can remember as a teen hearing that if we didn't recycle Jesus would come back more quickly... destroying the earth for the kingdom come... sigh.<br /><br />Great thoughts!Heidi Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769414906479026143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110103.post-74435959088416890632006-10-31T19:49:00.000-05:002006-10-31T19:49:00.000-05:00I wish all our follow believers could read this.I wish all our follow believers could read this.Missional Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03496760677134661370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110103.post-8873207891532858222006-10-31T04:25:00.000-05:002006-10-31T04:25:00.000-05:00Bob,

Jesus, Paul, And all the prophets seemed to have this idea that the people of God make up this alternative society, with counter cultural beliefs and values, that lives <i>within</i> the existing socio-political structure. From this place, this alt. society have the power to revolutionize the people they encounter every day (their neighbors), inviting them into this new way of living (counter cultural, based on Love and Faith), and thus seeing the Shalom of Yahweh start to find its plantings. And these plantings will come to fruition on the day of the Lord, even as they bare fruit (loving mercy, doing justice, walking humbly with God) withing the world system they find them selves in until that day comes.<br /><br />So, we say, "Come Lord Jesus!" and look to offer redemption and revolution to the world we find ourselves in.<br /><br />Good post here; good thoughts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032191110021982487noreply@blogger.com
