Enough donkeys ans elephants. It´s time for the Lamb.
Maybe God has a different dream for America than Wall Street's dream. Maybe God has another way to bring peace on earth than with drones and smart bombs. Maybe Gos has another party in mind than the ones we're all tired of. Jesus for President. Section 1 - Before There Were Kings and Presidents. A good creation of love an beauty takes a turn for the worse, landing it in a murderous chaos. What to do? Flood it an start fresh? Build a tower that reaches heaven? Appoint an adventurous elderly couple to leead the people out of the nations to the Promised land? Something has to save humanity from themselves... Section 2 - A New Kind of Commander-in-Chief The construction of a set-apart people into a living temple of blessing is going so-so. The solution: God puts skin on to show the world what love looks like. But here's the catch: the Prince of Peace is born as a refugee in the middle of a genocide an is rescued from the trash bin of imperial executions to stand at the pinnacle of this peculiar people. A strange way to start revolution... Section 3 - When the Empire Got Baptized Flags on altars, images of the gods on money...Caesar is colonizing our imaginations. What happened to the slaughtered Lamb, the Prince of Peace? There seems to be anorhte fospel spreading across the empire...Two kingdoms are colliding. What is a Jesus-follower tod o when the empire gets baptized? Section 4 - A Peculiar Party Snapshots of the political imagination. The question is not ARE WE POLITICAL? but HOW ARE WE POLITICAL?...not ARE WE RELEVANT? but ARE WE PECULIAR? The answer lies not just in what we believe but in how we embody what we believe. Our greatest cahllenge is to maintain the distinctiveness of our faith in a world gone mad. All of creation waits, groans, for a people who live GOD'S DREAM with fresh imagination. |
