Where Are The Poor?, Who Has Any Lack?

“Where are the poor people so we can give to them?”

And “Who in this church has lack and financial struggle so we can share our abundance and reinforce the equality between us.?”

These are the real financial messages of the kingdom of Jesus Christ

No building, no salary, no superstars with mics, just a body of people together, ALL preaching the gospel verbally and financially.

Jesus’ message was not and has never been “pay your tithes up to the authorities so they can buy nice buildings and be full time.”

The great commission is nothing like a body of Christians spreading tithe-funded religious imperialism. Into more and more real estate.

Like An Orchestra

The kingdom of Jesus Christ is like an orchestra.

Jesus’ church aka the Ecclesia is like an orchestra or chorus, (not a one man performance). Every one making beatiful music together. Being quiet at times and making noise at other times all at the right time. Responding back and forth, one too another and in response to the conductor. It is a collective performance of beautiful “music”. There were no spectators.

And the conductor is the spirit of Jesus Christ, not the elders.

The leaders were simply other very experienced players (elders/ pastors) who taught the new players how to focus on the conductor and play HIS songs in accordance only with his movements and his promptings.

The leaders (elders) would stand up for a short time to train the new members, (and only as necessary) then would sit down for their true love, to perform music with the others as equals.

Thought of becoming the preeminent and dominant conductor is offensive, idolatrous, and worldly.

Over time the music to this Jesus orchestra so beautiful the line to get into the orchestra is a mile long, so we have to plant “orchestras” in every town.

“Not Sure How Things Are In Your Kingdom”

A Christian from 50 AD walks into a bar to meets a 2019 American Christian for coffee. This is how the conversation goes.

2019 Christian: “hello brother my name is Gunther, I understand you are a Christian from the first century, I am a Christian from 2019 please tell me how things are in your churches in 50 AD.”

50AD: “my brother!!, you are a Christian, you follow the Lord? Wonderful! Well this is how a few things are in the kingdom of Jesus in 50AD. We do many things together as a community, one of the most helpful things is we do in the kingdom of Jesus that unites us is our love for Jesus himself and we routinely confess our sins one to another. “

2019 AD: “oh Well we love Kesus by singing beautiful songs about him it’s beautiful and our pastor sings great as he leads us. Here we don’t confess sin out loud per say to one another that would be embarrassing, it’s done just between us and God. “

50AD: “I’m not sure how things are in your kingdom but in the kingdom of Jesus we all take turns exalting and honoring our king.”

2019 AD: “well we have one designated guy do all the speaking, we amplify his voice with electronics and elevate him above us all sitting as an audience, he is great you should meet him his name is Pastor Roger you’d like him, you really should meet him maybe I’ll call him!”

50 AD: “Not sure how things are under your king but in the kingdom of Jesus we are all equal. We share our money one with another, we all speak, we all bring something to share, men women, children, the eloquent, the dull, rich, poor, smart, dense, we all take turns hearing our king and sharing our king. And our rich don’t get special status and favor with out king or among us.”

2019AD: “That sounds great…we tithe and the leader uses it for beautiful buildings and salaries but we do have a fund for the poor.”

2019 AD: “Only our great one shares, pastor Roger, and the tithe monies all flow through him and our volunteer professional tax accountant.”

50AD: “Not sure how things are in your kingdom but in the kingdom of Jesus we don’t compete and gossip one against another like the pagan religions do. We all cooperate with each other out of a mutual love for our king. “

2019: …awkward silence … “well if I’m honest we compete and many Christians hop from church to church throughout our lives until they find a pastor they like or who runs things like we want, but …our Pastor Roger he’s the favorite in our area, he has the largest congregation and he preaches great his congregation is growing and it’s like a revival in his meetings.“

50AD: “…silence…By the way… please don’t be upset with me but are you sure that your king is not this Pastor Roger?, I’m not sure what happened to the church after our murder in 69 AD, but can I reintroduce you to my king?”

2019 AD “Uhhh sure, but wait …let me call my pastor”
