Jesus Christ is building an administration. He is calling us to be kings and priests, and we will reign on the Earth with Him (Revelation 5:10). God is organized. We can look all around us and see symmetry, coordination, and interdependence. Throughout His Creation, from the planets and stars of galaxies beyond, to the smallest […]

If we profess to be true Christians, we are duty-bound to continuously examine ourselves—purifying our lives as we draw closer to God.
