Kingdom and Empire
Seeking God's Kingdom from within the World's Wealthiest Nations
Gene Tempelmeyer
We love ragtag rebels who defeat the empire in films we watch and books we read. But living in centers of the world’s wealth and power, do we recognize that we are participants in today’s version of empire?
Most of the Bible is written for and by people under threat or under the thumb of a variety of empires. The question faced by the children of Israel and the early followers of Jesus was how to live for the kingdom of God while powerful empires demanded full obedience.
Does living with affluence and influence change the way we read and understand that story? Are we likely to miss the way the Bible critiques our use of wealth, weapons, and walls?
What do Abraham, Moses, and Daniel teach us about living in the heart of the empire and reaching for something better? What can Paul teach us about using the resources of the empire to spread the message that Jesus is Lord, not Caesar? What do the birth and death of Jesus teach us about how God is redeeming the world of empires?
Is our citizenship in the empire a temptation, or an opportunity?
