There are many who believe that the idea of government was created by man, and the concept of religion was instituted by God. As a result, many believers work hard at trying to understand religion of Christianity rather than the Kingdom of God. Consequently, most Christians lack understanding of the Kingdom government which God intended for us to possess. However, gaining a greater understanding of the Kingdom of God will make you better equipped to accurately fulfill the great commission. In the pages of this book you will discover: -Christ preached about a government, not a religion -The difference between the gospel of Jesus and the gospel of the Kingdom-Christ did not die so we could simply join a religious group -What the Kingdom of God/ Heaven is that the earth desperately needs -God's plan for influencing and governing the earth-Adam's sin was act of love, not rebellion -What it means to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God-How we can advance the Kingdom within our sphere of influence-Major prophetic events to be fulfilled in this generation *As a bonus there is a complete study guide included to help you grasp the concepts of this book.

An Award-Winning Challenge to Popular Ideas of the Kingdom According to Scot McKnight, "kingdom" is the biblical term most misused by Christians today. It has taken on meanings that are completely at odds with what the Bible says and has become a buzzword for both social justice and redemption. In Kingdom Conspiracy, McKnight offers a sizzling biblical corrective and a fiercely radical vision for the role of the local church in the kingdom of God. Now in paper.

FIND WHAT MATTERS MOST. BUILD YOUR LIFE AROUND IT. In an age of distraction, everyone is looking for something that gives purpose and perspective on life. Jesus says it's the kingdom of God. But the kingdom is not just another religious idea. Rather, God's loving reign brings clarity and coherence to all of life - identity, work, play, relationships, justice, character - in a way that is profound and practical. Seek First brings theology to the streets, giving a vision for the kingdom that will truly change your life. "Treat presents the message of the kingdom in a way that gives us a grander vision for life, whether in the workplace or on the basketball court." - CHRIS BROUSSARD, NBA analyst and sports broadcaster "Few books do as good a job as this one in showing us how giving up everything for Christ and his kingdom is the pathway to our greatest gain. Seek First is a gem!" - SCOTT SAULS, author and senior pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church "With insight and passion Treat reveals why we ought to reorient our lives and reprioritize our loves . . . practical and powerful." - MARIELLE WAKIM, editor, Los Angeles magazine "A prophetic and urgent note to the generations . . . a clearly written and much-needed book!" - KEVIN J.

The four kingdoms motif enabled writers of various cultures, times, and places, to periodize history as the staged succession of empires barrelling towards an utopian age. The motif provided order to lived experiences under empire (the present), in view of ancestral traditions and cultural heritage (the past), and inspired outlooks assuring hope, deliverance, and restoration (the future). Four Kingdom Motifs before and beyond the Book of Daniel includes thirteen essays that explore the reach and redeployment of the motif in classical and ancient Near Eastern writings, Jewish and Christian scriptures, texts among the Dead Sea Scrolls, Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, depictions in European architecture and cartography, as well as patristic, rabbinic, Islamic, and African writings from antiquity through the Mediaeval eras.

What is a kingdom? What are the qualities of a kingdom? What makes up a kingdom? These are questions we westerners raise because we were never a part of a kingdom. The definition of a kingdom is "the territory or country subject to a king; an undivided territory under the dominion of a king or monarch." In other words, its king determines the qualities, characteristics, and nature of a kingdom. Those that dwell in that territory must have an understanding that it is the king that determines their way of thinking and living.We don't understand these qualities or characteristics that make up a kingdom. And because we don't fully understand it's difficult to get the full revelation of the kingdom of God. Jesus says that it is our heavenly Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. But to receive the kingdom we must recognize and understand the king so we can receive the kingdom.

What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C. Sproul walks readers through the foundations of the Reformed doctrine and explains how the Reformed belief is centered on God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ. Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.
