The King’s Heart: The Kingdom of God and Civil Government (2)
Our readings this month are from the book, The King’s Heart: The Kingdom of God and Civil Government. Here is a brief reading from pages 17 and 18:
“[T]he Gospel claims to bring with it a new ethic, which comes to expression in every area of life, as Christ makes all things new in and through us. The Christian ethic demands that we yield sovereignty to Jesus in all our relationships, roles, and responsibilities; that we bring our thinking, affections, and values into line with His; and that we give ourselves diligently to the task of bringing His salvation, Truth, and righteousness to light in every area of our lives. Christianity, in short, demands the replacement of one worldview—worn out and unsatisfying—with another—eternal, unfailing, and full of blessing. Many will be extremely reluctant to make that substitution; only the grace of God can move them to do so.”
