Paradoxical Praise

About this episode

The episode discusses the transformative power of the gospel and the concept of Jesus' upside down kingdom as illustrated in Romans 11:33–12:2.

Jesus’ upside down kingdom; The gospel catalyzing us toward transformation; Our transformation toward a new epoch/age. Romans 11:33–12:2 (ESV) 33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! 34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
