The Greek suffix phobia used to have the simple meaning of  ‘irrational fear’, but it has been expanded in recent years to include ‘antipathy, disdain and intolerance toward some lifestyle or belief system’.  By this new definition I would propose that we are rapidly becoming a nation of Christophobes. My definition for Christophobe is simple; it is a person who is scared to death to encounter the risen Christ!  The great theologian Karl Barth .

OK, maybe the title should be ‘what if I’m wrong about everything.’ The values of the kingdom of God define the ‘right side up’ life in an upside-down world.  Too often I hold onto those old worldly values and miss what God has for me.  See if you own at least some of these misperceptions. Kingdom of the world thinking:  We work in order to earn the money we need to do the things .
