Who is the King?
By Carole | October 10, 2008
I can’t believe it’s been nearly two weeks since I posted. I suppose my attention has been engrossed in American politics, in and amidst the daily routines of study and ministry. I was with Our Lady’s School of Evangelization last weekend putting on a Born of the Spirit Seminar, and we heading into our fifth week of the same Seminar at a parish here in Dublin. I’m seeing people making decisions for a deeper and more committed faith. Some of them have been a long time coming.
There are some great stories, and profoundly personal. I’m finding that real evangelization often takes place person to person, and one at a time.
One of the things we talk about in the seminar is, what does it mean to be in the Kingdom of God? It means deciding who is going to be king–who is going to ’sit on the throne’ in your life? Is God on the throne, or are you? This is one of the main reasons I think that religion is such a dead experience for so many people–they have never given up the throne.
This past weekend, one of the students showed me a little video that captures the question quite nicely.

To quote Kimberly Hahn, “That’s why it is so hard to be a living sacrifice, when God starts to operate we want to climb off the altar because it hurts.”
Some times I think martrys have it easier. One choice and they are with God. We have to pick up our cross and follow Him each and every day. But it is so worth it.
