The Peaceful Kingdom
“The dream of Jesus Christ is the Kingdom of God, and the committed disciple buys into his dream.
It ought to be noted that the Kingdom is not an abstraction. It is a concrete, visible, and formidable reality forged by the personal commitment of many members. A commitment that does not issue in humble service, suffering discipleship, and creative love is an illusion. The world has no interest in abstractions, and Jesus Christ is impatient with illusions: ‘Everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand.’”
Mt. 7:26

"Why should there be hunger and deprivation in any land, in any city, at any table, when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life?"
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
