The 'Politics Is Our Future Blog' and the
'Great Big Picture Blog' reflect the natural duality that is found throughout life. The FIRST will always have articles that deal with The Physical (or structural). Currently, these center on recent political events, but many of the ideas may also carry over into our next life - that 'World Tomorrow' or 'Millenial Kingdom Age'. Thus, there often will be a religion application. Man is a political animal. So, it makes sense that God would want us to learn right political concepts. You didn't know that we will be applying all this political learning not now but in our future assignments in The Kingdom did you?
The SECOND blog will always have articles that deal with The Spiritual. Correcting doctrinal confusion involves seperating out those beliefs that are wrong and nonsensical. A synthesis of the remaining ones should lead to a sudden realization of 'The Great Big Picture'. All of our religious leaders are in the same predicament as Rudyard Kipling's 10 blind men. Each of them touched a different part of an elephant and came to a wrong conclusion as to what an elephant is. Similarly, our preachers and theologians are touching seperate pieces of the Doctrinal Elephant. They cannot see the whole because of the blinders they wear. It is no wonder that the average church goer ignores doctrine as too hard to understand. The bottom line is this - There is no one group that has everything right and nothing wrong. The honor of correcting it all is being reserved for Christ at His coming. And that bottom line applies to these blogs too. But, at least having this right understanding about our place behind the dark glass that we see through will be a good start toward seeing The Whole Elephant.
Semi-regular sections at both blogs will be BOOK REVIEWS and WHAT THE KINGDOM WILL BE LIKE.
