The Kingdom of God is Advancing

The Kingdom of God is forcefully advancing! Nothing, and I mean nothing, can stop the unstoppable expansion of the Kingdom of God. It’s like a force of grace, breaking religious barriers and transforming lives.

Think about it: This Kingdom isn’t a passive entity. It’s dynamic, forceful, and relentless. Jesus himself described it as leaven in dough, spreading and permeating everything it touches. That’s the kind of impact we’re talking about here, and mentorship and discipleship are interwoven into Kingdom expansion.

From the very beginning, God planned to establish His reign not just in the hearts of a few but throughout the entire world. And guess what? That plan is still in motion! Against all odds, this Kingdom marches forward through adversity, persecution, and trials. The Jewish people had more ups and downs than a sherpa, and God’s mission continued.

Remember those moments when things seem chaotic, uncertain, or downright impossible? That’s precisely when God’s Kingdom thrives. It’s in the darkest of times that the light of this Kingdom shines the brightest. The Kingdom advances when a man mentors another in the ways of Jesus or a dad shares the gospel with his kids. The Kingdom is expanding!

Here’s the kicker: We are a part of this expansion. We’re not spectators; we’re active participants. Our lives, actions, and choices can all contribute to this Kingdom’s forward march. When we love unconditionally, forgive recklessly, and serve relentlessly, the Kingdom breaks through. It’s not about us building our little kingdoms but about aligning our lives with God’s grand Kingdom purpose. Moore expounds, “Our end goal is not a Christian America, either of the made-up past or the hoped-for future. Our end goal is the Kingdom of Christ, made up of every tribe, tongue, nation, and language.” Russell D. Moore, Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel

So, men, let’s be part of this forceful expansion! Let’s be agents of change, spreading the love, grace, and hope that define this Kingdom. Because when we do, we’re not just witnessing history—we’re actively shaping it. The Kingdom of God isn’t just expanding; it’s flourishing and doing so with us right in the thick of it.

Be a mentor.

Be a better man.
