It seems to me that the gifts of the Spirit are on the path to going wrong when we forget this simple principle: the gifts are given to us, but they are for others.
The Bible is not trying to be a scientific textbook, and we shouldn’t make it one.

A fire needs some boundaries (test everything), but it also needs some room (don’t quench the Spirit).
The kingship of Jesus is not partial now and increasing as time goes on, the kingship of Jesus is total and completed already.
As God’s inbreaking kingdom approaches our world, the way the powers of this world respond is through these signals.
When the time-complicated God acts, that action works through into our experience of time and history in a complex and paradoxical way.
When technology begins to create its own world that replaces some aspect of the created order, we have problems.
I speak with many preachers who unfortunately haven’t cultivated preaching as a form of Holy Spirit ministry.
If there are all kinds of different scales of temples (individuals, partnerships, small groups, large groups, and so on), then we probably ought to be looking for the Holy Spirit to fill up every scale of temple.
I might even go so far as to say that the presence indwelling the family is probably the single most important aspect of being a church.
All of this suggests that the way the spirit realm indwells the human order is a nested reality.
What if the Church in the US needs to stop trying to feel safe and needs to start feeling radical?
God is a reality that goes beyond the natural order and can reach into the natural order and in that intersection break the boundaries of natural laws and introduce new realities.
It seems to me that this is not a moment where leadership based on doing is wise: rather this is the moment where leadership based on being serves us far better.

Philosophies and human traditions don’t spring from Jesus, they spring from other (not good) spiritual powers.
One facet every preacher needs to keep in mind as they work to grow in their craft is that preaching is a multifaceted thing.
It is only while our eyes are on the Lord that we can perceive ourselves accurately, and that includes walking in true humility.
It seems to me that not every kingdom inbreaking is equal: sometimes there is a stream of God’s inbreaking rule, sometimes a river, sometimes a gushing waterfall.
Much of the work of pastoral ministry works through the currency of relational authority as we help people navigate situations in their lives and make choices the keep them moving towards the things of the kingdom.
The opportunity we uniquely have to image God is a paradoxical combination of what we choose and what is handed to us by the world around us.
We will have times in our life when God sends us to our own private Gethsemane and like Jesus, we cry out, “God, could there be any other way?” I
The issue is that the world is starting to speak a different sociological language than the church, leaving the church to feel outdated.
Both the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness are working to pattern our lives after their rule.

Our relational walk with the three-in-one God results in a three-in-one journey.
I would suggest we are hitting the limits of what we can handle as a nation without displaying moments of significant regression.
What does this all mean for knowing God? Well, it means that to some degree, we have three distinct relationships with the one God.
Relationship without doctrine is worth infinitely more than doctrine without relationship.
I think one of the things that is important to keep in mind is that the Bible is what was inspired and gifted to us by the Holy Spirit, not theology.
When it comes down to it, God is more invested in writing than any of us are.
This is the kind of collective action I’m talking about; something new that
happens with all of us that transcends the way God is working with any one of us.
If we don’t understand God’s design in diversity, how do we know our efforts in this area are actually redemptive?
If the rest of the world operates by decentralized structures facilitated by technology-assisted connections, the church will need to find its way into that space as well if it wants to remain relevant and effective.
The technology that has become ubiquitous in our 21st-century lives is distinct
in that it merges with our daily lives to the extent that it is never very far from our minds.
What is more helpful than trying to flex our faith muscles is to circle back to where our belonging lies.
