Cast a Long Shadow

We have all been raised in the system of this world. We know it. We understand it and can get along well in it. It rewards us. But what happens when you try to read, absorb and adopt the principles, paradigms and world view of the Kingdom of God through a mind that is still firmly entrenched in the kingdom of this world? Everything becomes bastardized. The Kingdom of Heaven is not a business, so you can't operate a Kingdom enterprise as though it were. It is not a democracy. So why do we have Deacon and Elder Boards running the local church, voting on everything as though it were a democratically operated organization? It is because we don't really know what Kingdom principles really are and how to walk in them apart from our understanding of how successful things operate in this world. This is because our experience has been that the world you live in does not reward you for living life in accord with another Kingdom, even if it is superior. You desperately need a new viewpoint in order to start seeing things the way they are supposed to be, rather than the way you have been taught that they should be. As a believer you want your life to count significantly for the Kingdom of God. You want your life to have meaning and impact where it counts most - to cast a long shadow. None of us can do that without knowing what the rules of the game are. The ways of the Kingdom are not the ways of the world. There are a different set of motivators. A different set of rules and regulations. The protocols are decidedly different. Their is an amazingly different economy and totally different set of values. If you do not know the ways of the Kingdom of God, then you can't possibly please the King of the Kingdom. This book will jump start your renewal.
