Radical Kingdom Citizenship: the Sermon on Mount

Is Your Faith Deeply Rooted or Merely a Paper-Thin Veneer? We often reduce the Christian life to a checklist. If we attend church, avoid major scandals, and adhere to the rules, we feel secure. Jesus identifies this as the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees-a "checkbox Christianity" that appears impressive externally, like a whitewashed tomb, yet remains hollow and dead within. In Radical Kingdom Citizenship, Rev. Kenneth Wieske invites readers to sit at the feet of the Master and encounter the Sermon on the Mount afresh. This is not a summons to moral exertion; it is a call to die to self. Transcending a superficial reading of the Law, this volume exposes the roots of our sin-anger, lust, dishonesty, and pride-and reveals that the standard of the Kingdom is nothing less than perfection. Yet, where the Law condemns, the Gospel provides. Inside, you will discover: - The Law of Life: Why resentment is a spiritual death sentence.- The Law of Love: How to fight the battle for purity in a pornified world.- The Law of Truth: Living Coram Deo without the need for empty oaths.- The Law of Grace: The impossible call to love your enemies as the Father loves. >Rev. Kenneth Wieske serves as the pastor of St. Albert Canadian Reformed Church in Alberta, Canada. Drawing upon his background in foreign missions in Brazil, he brings a passionate, gospel-centered perspective to the exposition of Scripture, emphasizing the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.
