As a point
of reference, a study on our life in the "two kingdoms"
seemed appropriate at this time in our Love Jesus,
Hate Church journey.
"What are the two kingdoms?" you ask.
Good question.
In a nutshell (Cliff Notes style), the two kingdoms are
the two realms of existence all Believers own real
estate in. You know, the kingdom of this
world with all its rules and definitions of success and
the Kingdom of God Jesus continually spoke about.
Let's see how we are to live in these two divergent
kingdoms, shall we?
Note: This podcast
consists of a
Love Jesus, Hate Church Reformation Series Sermon on
the subject of Life in the Two Kingdoms
titled, "If it Looks Like a Duck...Uh, Maybe it's a Duck!"
And, as you know, there are some inherent limitations in
listening to a recording of a live message. Therefore,
if you imagine me pointing to the Kingdom of God to my left
and the kingdom of the world to my right, you will get a
better picture of the dynamics of the topic.

The Joy of
Believing the Lie
“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and
State.
My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on
their own,
so that both of them together is certain death.”
George Carlin (1937- )
I am keenly aware of the fact that you may be wondering
about a guy who would write a book entitled, Love Jesus, Hate
Church. You probably have some questions, maybe many
questions, about the origins of a book that makes people as
uncomfortable as Love Jesus, Hate Church has proven to do.
You may be asking yourself, "How can you be a Christian
and use the words Love and Hate and Jesus and Church all in
the same sentence? It just seems so wrong."
And, you're right. It does seem wrong.
True. But wrong.
Yep, I would probably be wondering the same thing if
the tables were turned and I found myself in your shoes.
So, let me see if I can shed some light on who I am and
why I do what I do by telling you a bit about myself and how I
came to write Love Jesus, Hate Church. Let me share with you,
oh, how shall I put it— the joy of believing the lie. I
believe this will give you a better grasp of who I am and why
I wrote
Love Jesus, Hate Church.
