As Christians we are part of God's kingdom. God expects us not only to represent his kingdom, but to expand its borders. God has never depended on men and women reaching out to Him first. God has chosen to break into human history at numerous times, most significantly in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.In Jesus, God left his "home turf" to reach out to us and he expects His church to do the same — touching people where they live and walking with them in the issues that affect their lives. God cares about the full reality of people's lives. If we are to faithfully represent him, we must not pretend that this covers only a few pet church issues (e.g. homosexuality, abortion, school prayer).
