{"quotes":[{"text":"We want to be women who advance. The kingdom of God is advancing, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Don't you want to advance along with it? Don't you want to help it to advance? And don't you want to advance into the deeper realms of the heart of God? Advance into more healing, more deliverance, more intimacy, more life? Fear makes us retreat. Love causes it to advance.","author":"Stasi Eldredge","tags":["advancing","fear","hell","kingdom-of-god","life","love"],"id":1475,"author_id":"Stasi+Eldredge"},{"text":"If there is a ‘this world,’ there must be a ‘that world!’ There must be another world!","author":"Van Harden","tags":["heaven","kingdom-of-god"],"id":9249,"author_id":"Van+Harden"},{"text":"Finances flow along the lines of relationships in the kingdom of God.","author":"Fred C.

From the beginning the destination is announced: the journey is to the Kingdom. This is where we are going- and not symbolically, but really. In the language of the Bible, which is the language of the church, to bless the Kingdom is not simply to acclaim it. It is to declare it to be the goal, the end of all our desires and interests, of our whole life, the supreme and ultimate value of all that exists. To bless is to accept it. This acceptance is expressed in the solemn answer to the doxology: Amen.","author":"Alexander Schmemann","tags":["kingdom","kingdom-of-god","orthodox-christianity"],"id":27333,"author_id":"Alexander+Schmemann"},{"text":"The kingdom of God is an upside-down kingdom. It beckons us to gamble all, to trust radically, to come and die so that we might live--to give our lives away. Giving life away is a paradox. It's losing so we can win. It's giving so we can receive. It's risking for security. It's faith. The kingdom of God means living that tension.","author":"Ken Wytsma","tags":["kingdom-of-god","paradox","sacrifice","surrender"],"id":46451,"author_id":"Ken+Wytsma"},{"text":"If history has shown anything, it is that where there is a God, there is an institution trying to lock up that God in its lifeless structure of orthodoxy, in order to have authority over people and sell tickets to the Kingdom of that God. Thus emerged all the pompous lies about the extraterrestrial Kingdom of God or Heaven.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["agnostic","atheism","fundamentalism","god","kingdom-of-god","neuropsychology","paranormal","psychology-of-religion","religion","religious-extremism","religious-harm","religious-organization","religious-violence","spirituality","truth"],"id":68331,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"The key to knowledge is the kingdom of God.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["christian","education","kingdom-of-god","knowledge","life-lessons"],"id":68764,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"The argument against faith is all based upon the rigorous analysis of the scriptures, and not upon the objective observation of the actual individual sensation of faith. Historical experiences of the Kingdom of God gave rise to all the scriptures in the world, but the scriptures themselves don’t account for the actual globally prevalent psychological element of faith or divinity in the human mind. Faith is a natural evolutionary trait of the human mind, selected by Mother Nature as an internal coping-mechanism.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["agnostic","atheism","belief","belief-systems","brainy","faith","faith-strength","fundamentalism","god","human-mind","kingdom-of-god","neuropsychology","neurotheology","nondual-philosophy","nonduality","oneness","psychology","psychology-of-religion","religion","religious","religious-belief","religious-diversity","religious-harmony","science-of-mind","scriptures","spirituality","theology","transcendence","words-of-wisdom"],"id":69770,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":98,"pages":10,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
