Kingdom grit

 January 2019 - KINGDOM GRIT


Leader: Kingdom Grit is necessary !
(women)
to swim against the stream of other kingdoms
to live your call no matter what
to be passionate while others sleep
to tell the truth though it takes a beating in the pubic square
to collaborate without compromise
to get out of the safety of the boat


Leader: Kingdom Grit is necessary!
(men)
to listen well
to befriend others who are different than you
to be hopeful when circumstances are not
to keep reading and learning
to read stuff with which you disagree
to do small things well
to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and keep walking


Leader: Kingdom Grit is necessary!
(women)
to love those deemed unlovely
to ignore scorn
to press on
to pray, and keep asking
to have courage though outnumbered to be a unifier versus a divider


Leader: Kingdom Grit is necessary!
(men)
to speak truth, even if division is the result
to maintain integrity through conflict
to sing though your soul is sick
to learn from criticism
to renounce passivity
to renounce apathy, and join the conspiracy of love


​Leader: Kingdom Grit is necessary!
(women)
to love the persecutor
to pray and not lose heart
to care, and keep caring
to work with meager resources
to resist the siren calls of culture
to forgive nonsense
to choose the ancient paths, and the narrow gate


Leader: Kingdom Grit is necessary!
(men)
to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus
to search for truth in a land of lies
to tell the truth to your own hurt
to actually believe the promises of our authority in Christ
to do the right thing when you may be the only one to stand up and be counted


​Leader: Kingdom grit is necessary!
(All)
to not be cynical
to not catastrophize
to not become weary in well doing
to not resent naysayers, and
(with emphasis) to not let someone else define what the Kingdom of God is, other than Jesus
