We are dealing with some of the most important questions being asked at this time: If the foundations of the nations are crumbling, is it not a waste of time to try to shore them up? Why should we not spend all of our efforts and time in building the kingdom and forget about the nations that are...

Almost daily, there is evidence that the foundations of world governments and institutions are crumbling. In biblical prophecy, the primary cause of what is called, “the great tribulation” (see Matthew 24:21; Revelation 7:14), which will come at the end of this age, is the result of human problems...

As we proceed into these most interesting of times, we are coming into unprecedented opportunities for the gospel. At the same time, there is an obvious and accelerating collapse of the spiritual, moral, political, and economic foundations of America, as well as most nations in the West. If these...

As we continue our study of the kingdom economy, a basic principle is found in Hebrews 11:6: “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He rewarder of those who seek Him.” The three main elements of this are: 1) We must have faith to...

The next characteristic of love is that it “does not act unbecomingly” (see I Corinthians 13:5). That’s an interesting characteristic of love. We might also say that love is consistent, and the ones who love will have actions consistent with their beliefs. What would this look like? There are many...

As we continue our study of the definition and formation of the “Holy Nation,” the nation within the nations that God’s people are called to be, we have been addressing the economy of this nation. We are beginning to see a kingdom economy emerge which is so distinct and separate from the world’s...

We continue this week with the theme of how an economy is the foundation for any government and how love is the foundation for the economy of the government of God. Before continuing with our study of how this applies, taken from I Corinthians 13, I want to share a word that I was given nearly...

We continue with our study of how love is the foundation of the kingdom economy. Because we are told in I Corinthians13:8 that “love never fails,” we know that if we build on this kingdom principle then we cannot fail. We should also consider that it will be to the degree that we build on love that...

The kingdom economy is built on trusting more in the principles of the kingdom of God as taught in the Scriptures than in the trends and principles of this world’s economy. Of course, there are many areas in which the principles of both overlap, or are at least similar, but there are many areas...
