A Concept For an Album

Album concept:

Radical revivalist postmillennial viewpoints with a "Kingdom-focused" mentality. A conversation and debate with old Baptist pastors about how different our worship and living can be when we realize that Jesus has already established His Kingdom.

Some points:

• Jesus radically altered the world after His ascension, in 70 A.D., something Baptists never hear about. The works of the devil were crushed.
• When He said the kingdom was almost here, He meant it. We're living in it now, but since most of us don't realize it, the mustard tree is growing incredibly slowly.
• Political action won't further God's kingdom; it will only create more problems and make Christ less attractive. Our job is to continue to lift Him up. Show the world what sin is and who Jesus is so they will repent; don't try to make it stop sinning.
• Premillennial dispensationalism is a theology of despair because it assumes a sudden destruction of the world at any time, which gives us nothing to work toward on this earth. 
• Heaven is not our goal. When we make it our goal, our lives are worthless. The church that focuses on heaven will be the totally ineffective church. Scripture does not indicate that our goal is a place called heaven where we will live in a mansion and rest for eternity; this is certainly a misunderstanding of the text. 
• When we preach that in heaven we will be present with God and worship Him freely all the time, we imply that those things are not already true. Better to not mention heaven at all in our sermons and to teach the people that those things are already true! Stop "only imagin[ing]" being surrounded by His glory, and teach the church that everything they've heard about heaven is already true here today!
• Christ already accomplished the cleansing He prophesied, and He established His Kingdom in 70 A.D. We are living in a New Earth, and we should live a Kingdom life, thinking Kingdom thoughts. We should live like there's no more pain, no more tears, and no more dying, and our lives should smell like the Good News of Christ.
• Eternal life begins the moment a person is saved by Christ. We must begin living it now so that it will carry on after we leave this earth. Eternal life means our influence continues here on Earth after we die.
• The church will spread like wildfire when it fully realizes what Christ has already done for us, that we are His Bride now, and that Christianity will someday be the norm all over the world.
• Every person God ever wanted to save will be saved. Otherwise we couldn't call Him God.
• The Chinese church looks different from the typical Baptist church in America because they are truly grateful and really understand what Christ has done. They know His Kingdom is alive now, and they are much better ambassadors. Expect the Kingdom to spread from there much faster than from America.
• The rock that smashed the kingdoms of the world to bits is becoming a mountain, and our prayer should be that the mountain will soon cover the whole earth. Ignore all other kingdoms; they have been crushed. God will soon rid us of all authority but Himself. May His will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
