I know how easy it is to get caught up in the things of the world (in this case, politics, but there are so many other things) and forget Whose we are and who we are, not living in the reality of the kingdom of God that is within and that is eternal, not temporary.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-57667621889073421272008-10-19T11:38:00.000-05:002008-10-19T11:38:00.000-05:00Timely post.Best.Timely post.<BR/>Best.Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127809388107620419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-44707340346221492582008-10-19T05:12:00.000-05:002008-10-19T05:12:00.000-05:00Col 3.2 speaks to keeping our eye on another King...Col 3.2 speaks to keeping our eye on another Kingdom and not being preoccupied with this earthly plain.<BR/><BR/>I believe His Spirit gives us opportunity to speak out for, love, and tangibly minister to those who are marginalized.<BR/><BR/>Col 3.3 speaks to us being Hidden in Christ. There is absolutely nothing for us to fear. It is my belief that only that which is found in Christ will remain - all else outside of Jesus will be tossed.Walking Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07108948078929712054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-80252530104187503642008-10-18T20:20:00.000-05:002008-10-18T20:20:00.000-05:00Joel,Great post.

As well, on the Cross, Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this world," which alluded to the fact that we are not to but all our faith, trust and believe in the world's systems because they are created by men, not Father. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for including the link to Dana's blog!
