Kingdom Of God
Dominion and the Kingdom of God
Man’s relationship with God determines the course of all the rest of creation. Because we have exercised dominion in a sinful way, creation groans under the curse of sin. In the kingdom of God, man is restored to his proper dominion mandate.
Dominion and Culture-Making
When we speak of dominion we are dealing with a basic fact of human experience. Human beings will inescapably exercise dominion, the question is whether we practice it in a godly or idolatrous way.
Hope and Holiness
Peter’s call to action is a call to renew our Hope and the pursuit of Holiness, both of which will be brought to perfection on the day of Christ’s return.

With God in the Wilderness

Shall the Sword Devour Forever?
The events surrounding men like Abner and Joab in 2 Samuel 2 and 3 are a reminder to us that the Kingdom of God, what God is doing in history, is not merely some theoretical reality but is something that takes place on the ground, in and among the lives of real people.
The Mustard Seed Kingdom
Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a mustard seed. It starts small. David’s kingdom in Judah starts small, but it has the marks of the kingdom of God: small beginnings; the priority of prayer; benediction and invitation; and opposition.
