“I think that we should see other people.” Hmm… it’s a common line in our worldly relationships, and not always the most pleasant to hear, but what implications would those words have on our relationship with the church, the so-called “bride of Christ.” Before answering that question, bounce a bit with me, back to my years of seminary; a time when I balanced (and paid for) the theological world of academia by working as personal trainer at the local YMCA. There were many perks that came from

Upside-Down Kingdom”, author Donald Kraybill delivers a message about the kingdom of God being upside down compared to the kingdom of this world. I love how he has a lot of scriptures instead of just his opinion. This book started out by describing the traits that make the kingdom of God upside down and about detours people have to make.
