From Queendom To Kingdom - Introduction: 23 Sept 2010

“So… How’s that working for you?” 

“Every last one of us has a “kingdom”—or a “queendom,” …a realm that is uniquely our own, where our choice determines what happens.”-Dallas Willard

I don’t know about you, but this quote from Dallas Willard’s book, The Divine Conspiracy, has me pegged! My life is my “queendom", where I make attentive decisions that serve the needs of my highness, my queen, me. As promising and satisfying as “queendom” may sound, it really hasn’t delivered. I must admit that I am a dismal queen, ruling a desperately dysfunctional land. “Queendom” is not working for me, and based on my observations, it also does not appear to be working for those around me! And if I were to ask you the same question about your “queendom”, I imagine it is not exactly thriving either. Thankfully, there is good news, the Good News: the Kingdom of God is at hand. It is here, it is now, and it will gloriously overthrow the kingdoms of “you” and “me”.
