Discovering the Kingdom of God
I've been thoroughly enjoying The Secret Message of Jesus by Brian McClaren. He talks about the kingdom of God, which was Jesus' main topic of conversation. In other words, talking about what Jesus was talking about, rather than focusing in on Jesus so much. It's really good.
So, I've been thinking about the kingdom of God as something that we build as humans trying to do what God wants us to. But really, the kingdom of God is at least as much something to be discovered and accepted. Something to be noticed and enjoyed as much as it is something to be constructed with human hands. In fact, it's possible that by trying to construct it, we sometimes cover it up.

Hey, new site you might be interested in, that one of my former profs just started up: http://home.comcast.net/~sbond52/site/?/home/
"A resource for progressive Christians" is about all I know now, but she's one of the best educators I've had, so I'm thinking it'll be good.
Thnx for the tip. :)
