Understanding Kingdom Culture (Audio Blog)

Too many Christians spend their time and thoughts trying to get to heaven instead of trying to infiltrate earth with the culture, customs, and character of heaven and the God (King) of it. (John 17:15-16)

In God’s Big Idea, Dr. Myles Munroe wrote, “Culture is the manifestation of the collective thinking of a people. This means that whoever controls the minds of the people creates and controls the culture. Culture is also a product of law. The most effective way to change a culture is to control its laws, because whatever is instated into law eventually will become accepted as ‘normal’ by most citizens, regardless of how they might have felt at the beginning…Heaven’s culture is a culture of power, provision, and possibility.”          

A large part of discovering your purpose is discovering how it fits into God’s Kingdom plan. While on earth, Jesus spoke and taught more about the Kingdom than about any other topic. It seems as though the thing He talked the most about has somehow become the thing we talk the least about. Furthermore, He lived in such a way that we have a model for how we should live and what level of character we should ascribe to.

From Genesis to Revelation the word ‘Kingdom’ is used 365 times. Of those, it is communicated at least 155 times in the New Testament. If we parse that out further and examine the gospels (Matt, Mark, Luke, John) Jesus Himself says “Kingdom” 122 times that we know about!

I remember in school the teacher always told us that if he/she repeated a statement more than once the likelihood that it would be on the test was greatly increased. Based on this standard how many of us would be able to pass a test on the central theme of Jesus’ teaching?
