In an era when nations are turning inward and focusing solely on ‘our people,’ we are called to live differently. If we are to be cities on a hill, we must live generously with our time, space and money especially towards those who can give nothing in return. This isn’t just a biblical story; it’s...
New Heaven and New Earth is the end goal. God is renewing the world. And it starts with renewing people who then live differently as they follow Jesus and join God on his mission to renew the world. The whole world is not God’s temple (earth is your footstool), and the New Jerusalem that comes...
