    		 The Message of the Revolution

    by Tom Johnston

    The message of Jesus is the message of the Kingdom. It is this message, the proclamation of a new ruling order, which is at the core of the Revolution. The coming of the Kingdom of God is what the Revolution is all about – the overthrow of one world order for another. Jesus is the ultimate revolutionary – and He is still at work.

     

    		 For the Sake of the Gospel

    by Mike Chong Perkinson

    Maryanne Hannan states a rather bold assertion in an article entitled “The Discomforts of Discipleship.” She opens up her heart and confesses that “I write about a set of beliefs that I support but do not fully live. My own writing disturbs my conscience more than what I read of others’ writings. Because I am unworthy of the message, should I stop writing? ” (Spiritual Life 46:4 Winter 2000: 197) What an honest confession and one I’m sure that our hearts resonate with. Such honesty opens up the questions and let’s us ponder before the Holy Spirit the deep issues of our life. How do we deal with the internal paradox? Are we really doing all “for the sake of the gospel?” “Do I really believe all this stuff about Jesus? God? The Bible?”
