To pray, “Your Kingdom, let it come” is a life changing prayer. It means first that we recognize this world is not all right.This right now is not the kingdom. I see suffering. I see brokenness. I see lostness and need and chaos and madness and violence. And it is not all right. It is not the way it should be. So I pray for the Kingdom to come. God bring your rule of peace and forgiveness and love and grace to this broken place. And suddenly I realize this prayer is involving my life. He sends me to the suffering ones, to receive them in his love as if I am receiving the King himself.

Get In the Zōn!
April 16, 2017
Easter Sunday, April 16, 2017 Living from the Lord's Prayer, Part 7 Revelation 1: 4-8, 17-18 The ancient hold of death and Satan upon us has been broken. The fear that plagues us has been taken by Christ the Savior. And now people are getting into the Zōn. They are repenting of their sins, giving their lives to Christ and being washed clean by his blood. Even though it looks like the world has gone mad, the gospel is still powerful. Countless captives are being rescued from the grasp of the evil one. People are leaving fear and entering the Zōn, the life of the risen Jesus. Lapsed Christians are now returning to the Lord in contrition, stepping back into the Zōn, stepping away from themselves and into Christ. Let us say "No" to Satan and sin and "Yes" to Jesus with all our hearts. Let’s get in the Zōn!
