Into the Reign and Presence of God

The early disciples' lives were governed by the reign of God and not by the press of politics or the call of culture. 

They were different because they chose to live in their lives in obedience to and in the presence of God. 

Their radical love for God and neighbor resulted in dramatic actions that that perplexed all who observed them. 

When we move securely into the reign and presence of God, our lives also take on a beautiful and mysterious quality because God's presence and principles are being expressed in all that we do.
