A Living Bread Ideas series
The Kingdom Against
The Kingdom Against. This is one thread of Living Bread Ideas: a set of essays that take a piece of ordinary modern life, ask who told us it had to be this way, and set it beside Jesus Christ. Not to call the world evil, but to ask what has been quietly behaving like a lord.
“That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:”
Acts 17:27The Table Against the FeedThe feed is a fine substitute for the table.The Neighbor Against the FollowerA follower is a kind of neighbor.The Sabbath Against the MachineA person should keep pace with the machines they build.Grace Against MeritYou get exactly what you earn, and that is justice enough.Forgiveness Against the Permanent InternetA person is the sum of their worst recorded moment.The Right to Become DifferentYou will always be who you have been.
