…Our every goal and action should anticipate this God-centered world. Everything we are and do should point to this coming realm and model it before the rest of the world. Christians should build straight houses in the midst of a world where crooked people are building crooked homes. They should run straight businesses, and vote for straight government, in a world where these structures are misshapen by human sin. Their lives should appear to the world as the centers of divine righteousness, peace, and joy. Obviously kingdom-centered living does not come easily.
Richard F. Lovelace in his book, “Renewal as a Way of Life”
