Kingdom Mindset

Good morning.  It is early on a Saturday morning so this is going to be a short one.  I really only wanted to give you a taste of where I think God is leading me spiritually, and give you something to chew on until my next post.  Here it is in two words: Kingdom mindset.  While Jesus was here on earth he taught that He was the doorway to the Kingdom, but what He mostly taught was Kingdom politics.  He came to begin to establish the correct government here on earth.  I have lost sight of that, or don't know if I ever really had sight of that.  If I focus too much on the doorway to the Kingdom, I just may miss the dynamics of the Kingdom.

Look at it this way.  (Please don't take offense at this example, it is for demonstration purposes only ;-)  If a car salesman got on tv and talked only about the gate to his car lot, how big the gate is, and how expensive, how clean, how pretty, how intricate, etc... and ended by saying "So come on down and see us," without ever talking about his cars, few if any people would go because all he talked about was his gate, not his cars.  We still know nothing about his product.  

I want a Kingdom mindset.  I want to be a God focused, God fearing, God loving husband, father, and son.  That is where I am this morning.  Where are you?
