Tuesday Reflection for Week 7

Can the gospel be imposed upon others? Well according to what was talked about on Tuesday, I would say that it can. In talking about evangelism and witness Ryan was saying that our witness is to live like Jesus in the world. Therefore he said that our goal is not to get as many people to Christ, but to join in what the Holy Spirit is doing and to see that the Kingdom of God can come anywhere and not just in the church. We are to live out the Kingdom of God. Wow... It seems so simple and yet some churches (none that I know of...) would scream out against this position. What's going on here? What are we trying to do as the church? Build up the Kingdom, or our own kingdoms?
