You Are The Church: Creating Kingdom Culture

The Christian life in 2025 is an urgent call to action, demanding that believers move beyond passive religious practice and embrace their identity as God’s world changers and history makers. The sources emphasize that the Church, the bride of Jesus Christ, is the legally authorized entity on Earth to advance the Kingdom of God, which is present here on Earth, not solely in heaven. This requires a radical, biblical worldview that influences every sphere of society and refuses to compromise with worldly systems.

1. The Divine Mandate: Kingdom Culture and Biblical Worldview

The ultimate purpose of the believer is to superimpose the will of God onto the Earth, transforming culture and society based on an uncompromising biblical perspective.

A. Rejecting Worldly Compromise

God never intended for the Church to embrace the world’s ways or the worldly mindset. Instead, the Kingdom of God and the Church operate on a path that is distinct from the world.

• The Onslaught: The Church has faced a “greatest onslaught of demonic attack” over the last few decades, which infiltrated school systems, universities, homes, and social media.
• The Necessity of Standards: Believers must decide whether to stand with God and His Word or with the world and its ways. This means rejecting organizations or causes that violate God’s principles, such as the covenant of marriage, the existence of only two sexes, religious liberty, or parental rights.
• Right is Right: The principle is simple: “right is right if no one’s doing it and wrong is wrong if everyone’s doing it”.

B. The Priority of the Kingdom

Jesus Christ taught primarily about the Kingdom of God, mentioning the Church (the eklesia) only twice, using a term often associated with the Roman government. He commanded, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand”.

• Kingdom is Here: The Kingdom of God is “here in this earth,” and the believer lives within this Kingdom in society.
• The Battle for the House: The sources note a recent fight and battle “over the house of God,” including attempts to claim the houses of God for possession.

C. Confronting Perverse Thinking

The current cultural climate requires Christians to actively push back against “wicked and perverse thinking”. Examples include:

• Exposing children as young as three to pornography in public school kindergarten (thankfully a Supreme Court victory was achieved against this).
• The mutilation of children (called “gender affirming care”) without parental consent.
• The destruction of the authority of the man/father in the household, making fun of him.

2. Faith, Action, and Transformation (Thinkers and Doers)

The Christian life requires a balance between theological understanding and practical action, embodying the truth that faith without works is dead.

A. The Requirement for Deeds

James 2:14-26 clarifies that faith must be accompanied by action; faith alone is useless. Even demons believe there is one God.

• Abraham’s Example: Abraham was considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar, showing that faith and actions work together.
• The Worldview Test: If God’s worldview rules every aspect of life—marriage, family, children, job—the darkest places will be “transformed by truth”.

B. The Role of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the active agent of transformation, operating wherever God’s will is being executed.

• Genesis 1 Principle: The Holy Spirit’s first recorded appearance was in Genesis 1, moving upon the face of the waters when the Earth was “without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep”.
• Activating the Spirit: If a Christian is called to be an artist or a business person, they should expect the Holy Spirit to “smile and move on you” while they execute their work. This work, done to influence society, makes the believer a “culture barrel”.
