Gateway Fellowship

Jesus is Lord, not "minister of afterlife affairs." To follow him means not following the way of Barabbas, the way of the sword, the way of "power over" instead of the way of the cross. His kingdom isn't "of this world," but it is meant to manifest here, and when it does it looks and feels and smells and talks and acts and loves EXACTLY. LIKE. JESUS. Our "politic" is the way of servanthood and influence, not the "politic" of power over and control. We may face hardship, but because Jesus has overcome, we can overcome. We can love in the face of sin so that sin against us doesn't create sin in us. If our allegiance is to Him, then our agenda must be surrendered. Let's switch our thinking so we live here as missionaries. "We are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken..." (Hebrews 12:28)
