Religion vs Kingdom

Religion wants us to go to heaven; Kingdom brings Heaven to earth.
Religion focuses on individual; Kingdom focuses on Nations.
Religion says to keep yourself "good enough" to make it to Heaven; Kingdom says transform your society, bring the culture of Heaven to it.
Religion focuses on what you don't have; Kingdom focuses on the King, He has it all.
Religion tells you to pray for "Mannah"; Kingdom tells you to take the Promise Land!
Religion says you can't do it, you have to wait for Christ to return, die in the wilderness or expect a rapture; Kingdom says you can take the promise land, the giants there are bread for you, if you show up, the King will fight for you, don't expect daily drops from heaven, expect milk and honey, grapes too big for one person, expect to win every battle, you cannot loose if you accept the challenge!
Religion delights in the disasters of the world, mistakenly believing its a "sign" of Christ's return: Kingdom says the disasters are a place for the Son's of God to reveal themselves, an opportunity to display the power and grace of the Father, darkness cannot exist where Light is! (Paul says that all creation groans awaiting for the Sons to be revealed!)
Conclusion, ditch religion, take up the message of Jesus, His Kingdom is at your fingertips! Seek FIRST His Kingdom, and His Righteousness (right-standing, agreeing with Him, cooperating with Him) and everything you need will be added to you!
