I just got out of my car, where I was listening to a fellow talk.  He was a columnist for a major American newspaper for twenty years, which suggests that he knows something about… something.

He was speaking about Islam, the “war on terror”, Jihad, and more.  In his critique of Islam, he stated that many of its principles and values are not conducive to much of what Western civilization is all about.

That re-sparked the thought I’ve often had…

How much of Western civilization is conducive to the message of Jesus?

How much of what we hold as “life as we know it” would not receive the time of day within a kingdom where Jesus reigned as Supreme King?

Add to that the reality that my life (or yours), as his follower, is to be a mini-kingdom in which he rules, and we just left “hypothetical” in the dust.

Thanks Radio Guy.
