The Driving Force of the Kingdom
The year “2020” seems futuristic doesn’t it?
In some ways life passes by very quickly, but in others so slowly it seems a though there is no change. The days, months, and years of our lives seem to pass by faster and faster. When we were young, a school year seemed like an eternity. Now, we see our children and grandchildren go through stages of life before our eyes. Scripture compares our lives to flowers of the field that bloom in spring only to fade away in the heat of summer.
In other ways we feel as though things are standing still. When we see the evils of the world and the futility of anything apart from God, it seems as though men have made no progress at all. That is, in fact, the case. Men make no progress because they are sinners. Their natural progression is morally downward. Yet the dynamic of the Christian era is not of men but because of the Kingdom of Heaven powered by the Holy Spirit. Men can serve it, but they are not its driving force. Few individuals in history can be singled out as having advanced the Kingdom. Those we remember are noteworthy because they recall men to some aspect of faithfulness. Many of those were themselves badly mistreated.
No man or human institution advances the Kingdom. It is wholly the work and timing of God. All we can do is pledge our faithfulness to Him and His Lord, and pray, with the martyrs in heaven, “How long, Oh Lord?”
The financial contributions of our supporters enable our humble kingdom labor. We hope to have some important news in the coming year about our work. Your prayers are appreciated.
