Folding

"we believe there is a forefront (the position of greatest importance or prominence). on one side there is a lost and dying world and on the other is the Kingdom of God. our goal is to fold ourselves over that line. our feet are grounded in the Kingdom of God, held down by the people who support and love us and our hands are reaching over that line pulling people into the Kingdom of God!"

this is a summarized version of a quote from the music group P.O.D that i heard in a sermon not too long ago. i loved the imagery that that quote gave. this faith can be hard sometimes when we try and figure out how to live in this world and not of it. well this is the closest ive heard to a description of what our faith is supposed to look like and i love it! how beautiful is that picture. having your feet grounded with the support of the people who love you and the Lord and want whats best for you. but also, reaching across the line that separates pulling people into the Kingdom! but i think the part that is the most important here is that you are held tight because if you arent you could get pulled in a direction where you lose sight of what God has for you. but in addition to that i think we also lose sight of what God wants for the people around us. i mean if we are not reflecting who God is then we are giving people a view point that is incorrect. so we have to commit to reading about the nature of God in Scripture and then trying to model it.
