Our names are written there, as native citizens, because of the astonishing grace of God mediated through the blood of our redeemer. O, Praise Him!

From that website I found this link <br /><br />http://www.e-n.org.uk/p-1869-A-biblical-theology-of-the-city.html<br /><br />This is a good resource for "Conversations" like material as well as some other things if you look deep into the site. You don't need to go there but it helped to see how they do college ministry.<br /><br />There was an interesting view on "the city" here too. Now, Keller isn't equating our cities with Zion of course. Yet, He is making a case here that in every earthly city there are 2 'kingdoms' present..vying for control. The city of Satan and the City of God and that though the fight between these 2 kingdoms happens everywhere, earthly cities are where everything is most intense and the battle most won.<br /><br />He ends with an interesting statement. "Our citizenship in the City-to-come, by His grace, equips us for the city that is."<br /><br />Zion is a profound concept and an exciting hope. Keller does well at showing a unique missiology in this regards.onfiresurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974198658483764694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303998870892632951.post-2209316469129676992011-07-05T10:38:00.568-04:002011-07-05T10:38:00.568-04:00The Unstoppable Power of God to bring His people t...The Unstoppable Power of God to bring His people to Zion.
