Topics to Dig Into

Romans 12:2 (NLT) Don’t copy the behavior and customs of
this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you
think.  Then you will learn to know God’s
will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Have you ever been inside the US
embassy while visiting a foreign country? 
It feels like home.  They fly the
American flag, speak English, and shake hands rather than bow or kiss cheeks. 
 
Likewise, the church should be an
embassy for God’s Kingdom – a heavenly outpost right here on earth.  A Kingdom community looks and feels very
different from the world.  Kingdom ambassadors
cooperate instead of compete, share instead of hoard, serve others without
seeking attention, love our enemies instead of seeking revenge, and forgive because
God has shown us grace. 
 
Kingdom ambassadors have an accent and mannerisms that
indicate they’re not from around here.
 
Committed followers of Jesus create
a heavenly outpost right here on earth.

Like a productive garden, a rich
relationship should be tended regularly.
