It's time to get serious...

"The Kingdom of heaven/God in the preaching of Jesus as recounted in the Gospels is the reign of God that he brings about through Jesus Christ -- i.e., the establishment of God's rule in the hearts and lives of his people, the overcoming of all the forces of evil, the removal from the world of all the consequences of sin -- including death and all that diminishes life -- and the creation of a new order of righteousness and peace. The idea of God's kingdom is central to Jesus' teaching and is mentioned 50 times in Matthew alone."

Wowee.

What does God's Kingdom look like on earth?
Are we living to perpetuate these things? [If not, what are we doing? Or, better question:]

What could we be doing now to more completely promote God's Kingdom?

It is time to get serious, that is the only way we will ever receive those fruits of righteousness that you speak of... We well never experience those blessings if the world continues on the way it is right now. "Not Good", but we can't lose hope though, we gotta be good! LOL

Good stuff!

"What could we be doing now to more completely promote God's Kingdom?" (Exactly what your doing!)
