Democracy means that you view issues of race, gender, sexuality, the environment, the workplace and the
like to be crucial spheres where the negotiation over identity, equality, and emancipation takes place.

      

    One Tribal Voice: One MAN'S thought
    on GOD and the POST MODERN CHURCH

"Democratic principles commit me and should commit you to a relentless quest for the sort of political behavior that speaks to
race, class, gender, economic arrangement, and social conditions that promotes a full productive life for the common citizen.
This translated means Good public policy and progressive politics."   Reverend Alan L., Joplin

Social Commentary is the act of rebelling against something in a rhetorical manner. This is done with the idea of promoting
change by informing the general populace about a given problem and appealing to people's sense of Justice.

Concerning the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God is basically a spiritual kingdom (John 18:36; Rom. 14:17); but since God is the sovereign God of the universe, the impact of his kingdom extends to every area of life of the individual and the world. The kingdom or reign of God comes as his will is done (Mart. 6:10), as his righteous rule is extended (Matt. 6:33). Entrance into the kingdom is ethically conditioned (Matt. 5:20; 7:21), including unselfish service to those in need (Matt. 25:31-46). The kingdom, a present reality as well as a future hope, should be sought first by the Christian (Mart. 6:33). Iris the treasure hid in a field, the pearl of great price for which we should be willing to give up all that we have (Matt. 13:44-46). The kingdom should not only be the supreme good for the individual Christian but also for the Christian home, the church, the de¬nomination. Greatness in the kingdom is based on service (Mart. 20:26-28).
