Why Are We Here? Series

I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

A Kingdom Picture

Contributed by Don Baggett on Jan 31, 2008

I used to think the phrase, Kingdom of God, meant only some future time, but I have come to understand that it means the Christian experience under the Lordship of Christ.

I wonder what you think of when you read or hear the phrase, “Kingdom Of God?” Perhaps you think of some future time, when there will be perfect peace and no problems, when the ferocious beasts of the forest can be led around by little children.
