Radically different than any of the kingdoms that this world has ever seen. In this kingdom the King doesn't rule with a sword or an iron fist. Instead, Jesus rules with a towel and self-sacrificial love. To be a citizen of this Kingdom means that we imitate His example. Instead of trying to seek power over.

Ray's X-Change: Good Books from 2009
http://raysxchange.blogspot.com/2009/12/good-books-from-2009.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. Good Books from 2009. I thought that I would share with you some of the books that have been speaking to me over the last year. So without further adieu. The Politics of Jesus. By Mr Yoder that I intend to read in the new year. I believe that. Is a must read. The Myth of a Christian Religion. If you have discussed theology with me in the last year, you probably have heard me mention Greg Boyd's name. I love Greg Boyd's take on things. His book. The Myth of a Christian Nation.

Ray's X-Change: Mandorama!
http://raysxchange.blogspot.com/2007/07/mandorama.html
Sunday, July 15, 2007. Well, I finally did it! After about 4-5 years of enjoying it's sound, I finally gave in to the mandolin bug! Posted by Raborn Johnson. Labels: Just For Fun. I don't have a musical bone in my body (God gave my wife all those) so I would probably break that thing. I hope God gives you a blessing of a journey learning to play and being a blessing unto others. I love bluegrass, btw! Monday, July 16, 2007. Very cool, Raborn. I enjoy the sound of a mandolin as well. Monday, July 16, 2007.

Tuesday, June 19, 2012. What Would You Do If.Pruning Hooks and Plowshares. It's been along time between posts here. The following is a response about the question of Christian non-violence posed by friends at Beyond the Box. There have been so many comments since I last said anything. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get back with you guys. First off, let me say that I really appreciate each of you and your tone throughout not only this conversation, but all of them! Did He turn the other cheek? Throug...

Ray's X-Change: June 2006
http://raysxchange.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 09, 2006. Well, it's been a couple of weeks since my last post and I have been thinking about many different things, but something I would like to talk about is truth. What is truth?

How can we jump to the conclusion that one's very relationship with God is in danger as a result of not acknowledging a 6000 to 10000 year age for our planet? Here w...

Friday, July 28, 2006. Kingdom of God Part 1. It's been a long time since I posted something. I have just been going some different directions, but I have had alot of things that I have wanted to blog about. Something that I have been giving alot of thought to lately is the idea of the Kingdom of God. I have been trying to understand what it is and how it is different from the kingdoms of this world. And "the Kingdom of God is within you". If He was speaking of a "land far far away"? At this point, let m...
