The Day Of Judgment Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

We must open our spiritual eyes and recognize that there are thousands of victories being won everyday around the world. We are referring to the victories of light over darkness. The Christian must balance his pessimism concerning the world with his optimism concerning the kingdom of God.

The optimist says the world is everyday in every way getting better and better. The pessimist says the world isn’t what it used to be, but is going to the dogs. The Christian realist says they are both right, because there are two kingdoms of reality. There is the world order, or that realm in ...read more
