So when Jesus directs us to pray, โThy kingdom come,โ he does not mean we should pray for it to come into existence. Rather, we pray for it to take over at all points in the personal, social, and political order where it is now excluded: โOn earth as it is in heaven.โ With this prayer we are invoking it, as in faith we are acting it, into the real world of our daily existence
Dallas WillardThe greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who, by profession or culture, are identified as โChristiansโ will become disciples โ students, apprentices, practitioners โ of Jesus Christ, steadily learning from him how to live the life of the Kingdom of the Heavens into every corner of human existence.
Dallas WillardThere is knowledge of God and the spiritual nature of man, as well as other types of reality..., that are not reducible to the world dealt with by the so-called "natural" sciences. The idea that knowledge - and, of course, reality - is limited to that world is the single most destructive idea on the stage of life today.
