It captures the idea that the kingdom of God is not a visible one that can be discerned physically. The invisible kingdom is mostly discerned spiritually by the Holy Spirit's revelation.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-51550882058493331102007-05-30T11:13:00.000-05:002007-05-30T11:13:00.000-05:00KB,"Invisible Kingdom" - could you explain more on...KB,<BR/>"Invisible Kingdom" - could you explain more on that, particularly how that term came about.<BR/><BR/><EM>Life is fulfilling only when it is given away.</EM><BR/>How true. Life is meaningless unless it becomes meaningful to others.<BR/><BR/><EM>Life in pursuit of excellence without sacrifice will ultimately disappoint.</EM><BR/>A fact of life that does not sit well in the world. We are trained so much to corroborate, to have a win-win situation, to gain, to conquer, without pain, though with risk. Which is why the way of Christ, the way of the cross is such foolishness to the world. (1 Cor 1:18-25)<BR/><BR/><EM>Life that is solely lived on the earth-plane breeds cynicism.</EM><BR/>I was reading Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World just yesterday, likening our living like living on a rabbit's back. When we are young we are at the top of the fur looking out to see what's beyond the normal but when we mature, we settle down where we are comfortable, living our lives contentedly without thinking beyond the world we live in. I do not think I am like that though I need to always remind myself to look beyond life here on earth and think and live eternally even at this moment.pearliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142595255771626179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-31542725211648701622007-05-30T10:01:00.000-05:002007-05-30T10:01:00.000-05:00I linked on to you from Pearlie's site.

Yes, it is a daily struggle to keep our eyes fixed on "The Kingdom" instead of what we see around us with the human eyes.<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.com
