The prayer that Jesus gave His disciples to pray, which has been prayed by His disciples for nearly two thousand years, is for His kingdom to come, and His will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We can be sure this prayer is going to be answered, and it is being answered in our time.

      This we can be sure about God’s kingdom—it will never shrink, and never stop growing. We are assured this in Isaiah 9:7: “There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the...

      Biblical prophetic scenarios of the end of the age have much to say about the darkness growing darker and the light and the glory of the Lord becoming brighter. Which it will be for us is determined by us.

      It is a biblical principle that we are as close to the Lord as we want to be. We’re promised that if we seek Him, we will find Him, and if we draw close to Him, He will draw close to us. The choice of how close to Him we are will determine the light or the darkness...

      We must wait and let the Lord be the Judge of this, but I concur that it would be nice,...

       Those who follow Christ are living the greatest adventure we can live on this earth. Those who are following a religion are living perhaps the most boring life possible.

      If we’re so bored with Christian life that we give it as little of our time and attention as possible, we’re on the wrong path. Those on the right path are so captivated with their walk with the Lord that it’s hard to think much about anything else. We have to do everything we do—even the worst, most uninspiring jobs—as worship unto the Lord. Then even the worst drudgery...

Introduction

      In an era marked by global instability and great domestic challenges, the principles on which the founders based the U.S. Constitution are more vital than ever for us to understand and re-establish as our national foundation.

      As the United States approaches another election cycle amidst growing political polarization and international uncertainties, it is crucial for citizens to reassert the foundational norms that have guided our nation to higher levels of success and prosperity than any nation in history.
