I have been blessed over the last week to sit with some fine thinkers within our denomination (Brethren In Christ). I was in a course required for ordination where we discussed our denominations history and theology of salvation. I must say, I was transformed to say the least. I had never grasped how great our understanding of salvation was. Moving on...
One thing that is important to our heritage is the understanding of two Kingdom theology. In short, you have the Kingdom of this world and then the Kingdom of our God. Over the next series of posts I hope to flesh out a little more what the implications of this are, for there are many and they are important for how we understand this world and how we live in it.
When Jesus says to Pilate that His Kingdom is not of this world He is making a profound statement. With not much time today I just wanted to put up where we'll be moving here in the next series of posts. Oh yea, and I'll get to the Spirit and Holiness soon too!
