When do we get to do the stuff? You know, the stuff here in the Bible; the stuff Jesus did, like healing the sick, raising the dead, healing the blind - stuff like that?

When we stand for social justice, we testify to the presence of the Kingdom.

Remember the economy of the Kingdom is simple. Every time we come to cross a new threshold, it costs us everything we now have. Every new step may cost us all the reputation & security we've accumulated up to that point. It costs us our life.

We don't seek God's power, we seek His presence. His power & everything else we need is always found in His presence.

Instead of focusing on the great men of God, I prefer to focus on the Great God of men.

Worship has a two-fold aspect...we lift Him up and exalt Him, and as a result are drawn into His presence where He speaks to us.

If we serve Jesus then every act & thought has meaning. Acts of kindness aren't just niceties, they become acts of worship.
