Formation - Desire vs. Discipline or both - a conversation with James K.A. Smith

One of my favorite authors, James K.A. Smith talks freely surrounding the new theme of his book, Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation (Cultural Liturgies) A Fantastic primer and discussion guide for how our appetites, desire, or the things that we love do more to shape us than we could ever realize or know. Enjoy! I need to listen to it over and over again to remember the gems!

...And there was no longer any sea... What is Restoring Pangea?

The World as one still needs to be one in every way - physically ideologically, socially, economically, etc. Pangea Restored is a fully-orbed vision of what the world could be if the borders and barriers that most separate us were removed, literally, and the New World was reborn with Peace reigning. Let His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven..

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,

...and there was no longer any sea...

‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"...He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Revelation 21

Cause vs. Effect

If I couldn't see I'd be more affective If I was careful I wouldn't be here If I was courageous I would still fear If I had a million dollars I'd have a big house in the Bahamas. If I had a dollar I'd have a small house, somewhere in the Saharas. If I didn't own anything, I'd be able to receive everything If I had everything I'd be missing something If this was a song, I'd write it If it was a poem, it doesn't rhyme If i could live any life it would be my own If I could only tell you one thing, it would be, "Come Home"
