The biblical story is a more wonderful and uplifting journey than we often realize. Far from the stories of condemnation and destruction, the biblical story is the uplifting, encouraging, and transparent testimony about God--who loved the world such that He intervened to kill death on people's behalf.

The story is graciously sprinkled with romance, politics, philosophy, and strives to win people over not merely to a final destination, but a world characterized by justice, peace, mercy, and love. These are the things the whole world desires.

While we fail by our means, God has established the Kingdom of Heaven. He has coronated His king, whose name is Eternal Father and Prince of Peace.

Upon His shoulders the government rests. There will be no end the the increase of His government or of peace.

Despite our wickedness and tendency toward injustice and violence, God has promised salvation for the whole world. He has promised never to destroy the world or curse the ground again.

This story is good news. This gospel is proclaimed.

God is inviting the nations in. .
