One reason why distinguishing the two kingdoms is so important? No inaugural prayers = no problem trying to work out precisely what to think about this story. It’s almost impossible to think anything except Just Don’t Do It.
So, Philip, should the 2K slogan be a hybrid between the Nancy Reagan after-school special solution to drug abuse (“Just Say No”) and a Nike commercial (“Just Do It”)? I kinda like that.
I was aiming at Nike, rather than–who? I’m not yet 30, and British. Don’t expect me to have heard of your soap opera stars. 😉
There’s something which appeals, in a subtle and subversive way, about adapting the slogan of Nike (meaning victory) for a theological position which proclaims something quite different from the world’s conception of victory.
Philip,
Yes, counter-intuition is the best thing in the whole wide world.
Maybe some anti-Bull Durham instead of Nancy Reagan (she was Ronald Reagan’s wife; he was one of our presidents in the 80s):”Don’t build it and they will come.” Oops, sorry, more 80s American coming out.
Go to this link to google books and see another reference by Madison to two kingdoms in a letter. He references Luther as well.
Go to the link then scroll down to the letter to Schaeffer:
