Here and Now...and Yet To Come

You may have noticed the new name change. Perhaps you didn't. Either way it changed.

I've been thinking about changing the name for some time now. With the original name, "The Here and Now", I was trying to steer people away from the idea that the Christian faith is all about getting to Heaven when you die. The Kingdom of God is just as available to us now as it will be in the future. Unfortunately, the previous name was an overcorrection to what I call the "I'll Fly Away" syndrome. I think that this new title better represents the gospel story in it's whole entirety. God is in the process of redeeming all of creation and we live in a constant strain of the "now but not quite yet."
