The Kingdom of Heaven… on Earth?

Why Christians Shouldn’t Be the Refugees
ByEmily December 11, 2016November 21, 2023

Devotional Day 25 Come now, you who say, “Today we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. For you are just a vapor that appears for a little while…
