In The Age to Come – How to Time Travel to the Future, we explore how the Spirit brings the future Kingdom into our present experience.

2 Peter 3 reminds us that the Day of the Lord will come. Confirm your calling, listen to the Lord, live your life holy and righteous before your Creator. Don’t trust the scoffers, the naysayers. Trust in the Lord.
