Finding an abundance of joy in generously sharing my extreme poverty.
“Jesus set out on a tour of all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom.” (Matthew 9:35)
I believe your first point is misleading and nonsensical because 1 John 5:19 We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.
YOUR FIRST POINT FALSE
“The first point of the Christian message is that God is in charge of the world. He is the ruler, the supreme president, the king. Unlike human rulers, however, God always does what is best for his subjects. He is the kind of king you’d like to be ruled by.”
Thanks fr stopping by and commenting Charles. But I will have to respectfully disagree. Look at the way John the Baptizer preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, and then how it is taken up by Jesus. It doesn’t really fit your paradigm.
Now by that, I am not saying that CANNOT be a starting point – only that it does not HAVE to be our starting point. Eventually we must communicate it it is true. But we may begin say – as Paul does on Mars Hill – simply getting out WHO God is before anything else.
