INTEGRATED LIVING

Preparation for living the Kingdom Way has to do with a new level of introduction into spiritual things.

First, would be to have integrated thinking and behavior rather than a strict theological ‘performance’ of restricted perception. Without integration only a ‘local church’ (meaning a building in a location with a professional leader) is the only standard of spiritual life, so church life becomes spiritual life. This result is a limited spiritual reality.

The integration of art, business, science, media, education, theology, earth studies, family studies, social and cultural studies, etc., must be based in strong philosophical balance with Biblical basis and world view of a fully integrated life in God while living on earth. To separate and have single interest and focus leaves people in a non-integrated (or just church) environment without contact and reality to the rest of society that desperately depends on us to learn and live the Kingdom Way. This is why there are few ‘conversions’ and growth in most church groups. We must so fully engage at every level of society that Jesus and His ways are known as the full answer and solution to all of life’s situations. Under the current system and philosophy, this is and would be, impossible.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Jesus
