Notes on the interview:
1. How then as a church can we transform communities and nations when we ourselves still need transforming?
- a. Seeking the Kingdom of God is a process that leads us to transformation and liberty under God by the Holy Spirit. We do this by first repenting ... then serving people in a way that strengthens their faith.
- b. The Gospel of the kingdom shows us how the disciples were prepared and transformed so that they could properly serve the people in that networking community of love and charity we call the early Church.
- c. The journey is the destination. Jesus said to repent, seek, strive, persevere. If we do that He will give the increase.
2. How can those who receive the revelation of the kingdom be that different Church or do we delay the transforming of the community?
- a. The term we use today as Church actually means the "called out". It was not a building, a place, or even a congregation but specific people "called out" to be separate from the world for Christ's purposes.
- b. The apostles were "called out" like the Levites who were called out by Moses to serve the free assemblies of the people in a common communion as one form of government.
- c. The word translated communion in the Greek text is koinonia κοινωνία more often translated "fellowship". People are not coming in the name of Christ if they are not coming in sacrificial service to others in a way that they might be saved.
- d. The kingdom is not in the hearts of people who are not sacrificing daily in a genuine effort to seek the Kingdom of God with a righteous "fellowship" and "communion".
3. How does the Church structure itself in the kingdom model so that the people of the world can see the value of the Kingdom of God on earth?
- a. The Church should be the alternative to the Benefactors of the world and the Fathers of the earth.
- b. We need to require the people to sit down in the tens as Christ commanded so that they may choose to repent, seek, strive, persevere.
- c. There is no greater service than to teach others to sacrifice as Christ sacrificed, who taught by being a doer by doing, that we might be saved.
- d. With the righteous "fellowship" and "communion" in charity and sacrifice we may provide a righteous alternative daily ministration of pure Religion instead of the covetous practices which makes us merchandise and curse children.
