Anything God is in will be the most exciting thing happening in the world. The body of Christ, the church, will eventually become the most powerful and interesting force the world has ever known. We can be sure of this and become a part of it. If we become a part of it, we will live the most interesting, exciting, and fulfilling life we could ever live.
Today we have some of the most exciting and powerful churches and movements since the first century. Many of these are still unknown to much of the body...

Following the King of kings is the greatest adventure and most fulfilling life we can have on this earth. Likewise, visiting the house of the King of kings should be one of the most exciting things we ever do.

We could marvel at the creation forever. Its diversity in the multitudes of species of plants and animals are nearly incomprehensible. Still, there are multitudes that yet remain undiscovered. How they all interact with the earth and each other is a source of continuous discovery and amazement. We now know the planets, stars, and galaxies have an interaction with the earth from billions of light years away that was necessary to begin the earth’s food chain!
As we are told in Scripture, all of this is but a “shadow” of the...
