No matter what's going on in your world today, you have a choice to make...
Are the efforts you put forth going to be about building your own earthly kingdom or advancing the kingdom of God?
How -- you might ask -- can you tell the difference?
It's not hard to figure out...
The kingdoms of this world are built by using others for your own ends...
... whereas the kingdom of God is built by using your gifts to bring His grace wherever He has you.
Working this out in your own circumstances requires a decision every day... if not every moment of every day.
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me" (Lk.9:23).
