Friends in Christ Weekly Message
August 21, 2010

     Do you see what we've got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He's actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won't quit until it's all cleansed. God himself is Fire!
Hebrews 12:28-29 (Message*)

Many think that the kingdom of God is pie in the sky, and not reality. But in fact it is an unshakable kingdom - the most reliable and secure reality there is. We are invited to participate in it here and now.

If we understand and accept this reality, so much opens up to us. How can we not be full of gratitude towards God and eager to worship God?

Bill Samuel
