I wrote live it whilst ruminating on the recent experiences of the whole globe over the past two years, like many others I have been deeply impacted by the severely polarised political landscape. The hatred, vitriol and damaging expressions of ‘faith’ I witnessed were displayed for all to see. Now to be sure, I was under no illusion that these divides and attitudes existed, but there is something rather visceral that takes place where one encounters these things day after day due to the proliferation of online spaces to engage with. The thought occurred to me that Christmas is coming, many of us who profess to be believers will don our lights and piously attend services, make nativity scenes and maybe even partake in some extra charitable deeds, whereby we can feel good about ourselves. But what do we say we are celebrating? What is this Kingdom we proclaim that entered the world's existence? How does it transform the lived expression of those who claim to live according to its culture? what does The Kingdom really stand for?.... Out of those thoughts came ‘Live It’. The outpouring I guess of some of my thoughts and feelings.
