they will learn what they see...

A new friend, Marcus wrote, (see comments for The blog as a camp tool below)
"I just want advice, and conversation about how to make camp a place to live more like God, in Jesus' ways, and less of just talking about Jesus. We talk about Jesus. Jesus talked about the Kingdom. I want more of that, and in the camp community. Suggestions? Thoughts?"

My response to him and to others asking the same question...

Marcus, the way of the Kingdom is to do the work of the Kingdom. Proclaim the freedom, power, and authority of the believer in the Kingdom. This means setting people free from their bondage, things that trip them up and hold them down (more than sin but the grip of it over their lives). Get them to understand the truth of the gospel in who they are as believers - SAINTS. Therefore we need to equip them to live as saints. Not just prayer warriors but people who fully believe that sin and death have been conquered.

As in Matthew 9 and 10, Jesus has given us, as He did then, authority (this is not a faith doctrine but truth) to do the things He calls us to do. The way to teach it is to live it. Let them see the freedom, power, and authority of the Kingdom in your life. If they just see you talking they will be talkers, if they see you praying, they will be prayers, if they see you loving, they will be lovers, if they see you setting people free, they will be people who pray and love people to freedom...

The way of the Kingdom needs to leave our blogs and enter our hands, feet,... lives. If we practice that what we read Jesus doing in the Gospels and the disciples in Acts and make it our lives instead of Academic conversations, I believe we will see the Church come alive. But if we stay in the shadows of our computer monitors we will never see an emerging anything.

I believe...
