The Apostles
We’ve been discussing the fact Jesus came to deliver the Kingdom of God, not just to preach the gospel of salvation as has been so emphasized by the Church since institutionalization. Let’s continue that discussion. Recorded in Acts and the epistles of the Apostles, we can easily identify the message that they preached is also […]
The Real Reason
Jesus’ purpose in sending out the disciples went beyond the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Rather, He wanted them to experience the power of the Holy Spirit themselves, and thus be strengthened in their faith to continue learning and growing as disciples of the Kingdom. Today many people confuse this purpose of the […]
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God
If the Gospel is not merely about the salvation of human souls, then what is it about? Well, the New Testament states it clearly: it is about the Kingdom of God. Let’s take a look at the Gospel preached by NT characters to give a clear picture of this. John the Baptist 1In those days […]
Jesus Came to Bring the Kingdom of God – Not Just The Gospel of Salvation
The message that Jesus preached and lived has been badly distorted by the Church over the centuries.

A Place for Money in the Kingdom
It’s important to read this earlier post to understand that I am not blasting a particular ministry here, but am making a more abstract point (continued from here). A newer philosophy that has sprung up in the last few decades is the “prosperity” teaching. The idea is that God wants all Believers in Christ to […]
Is Wealth a Sin?
Several hundred years after Christ, a monastic movement emerged and many of those who most devoutly followed Christ chose to pull out of society and took vows of chastity and poverty. Incredible fruit was born from some of those communities and the world was very different then, so I am not saying whether or not […]
Does God Want Us to Be Rich?
Monetary wealth is an enormously popular topic in the Church. It has very real power to change this world and affect people and wealth is one of the most popular topics in the Bible. There are two very prevalent extreme views on whether or not God desires for His children to be wealthy. I think […]
