Kingdom Living

It's late. The smell of Plumcake tobacco has settled deep into my clothes. I've just returned from "Theology on Tap"- a gathering of men from our community who discuss the deeper points of our journey toward that future city around pint and pipe.

We talked briefly about why we're gathering. I kept thinking about that line from Dead Poet's Society when the teacher told his students something like - "You study math and science to learn how to live, but what we do here is experience what we live for."

We study about God's Kingdom, we seek to expand God's Kingdom, we cultivate God's Kingdom in our hearts but there comes a time when you must simply enjoy God's Kingdom; to enjoy the fruit of redeemed relationships; to enjoy good food and drink; to enjoy the peace that only comes from knowing you've been set free; to know that the Kingdom of God has come and its a good place to be.
