Self-control shows that we have been transformed by the Spirit.
In the coming of Faith and the Holy Spirit, our time of training is over.
God is bringing the salvation of the world through the Church.
God calls us to wait on him for vengeance, or we will be just like all the other kingdoms of the world.
Life becomes way more complicated when you cut people off.
The kingdom of this World is an enemy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, but we are called to love our enemies and pray for those that persecute us.
Love and Obedience in the Church are the only necessary conditions for God to use us for his victory in our community.
Something important happened at Pentecost which can only be explained by the Holy Spirit.
Lament is necessary to keep us from being too satisfied with this world.
We have a choice of whether to serve the Kingdom of Jesus Christ or the Kingdom of this World.
