Top Highlights
“This very point was clearly articulated in the Czech Reformation: Jesus Christ is the Lord. He is not only the savior of souls and the teacher of wisdom, but the king of the church and the world. He will reign! What really matters, then, is to live in conformity with his coming kingdom, and in this light to shape the alienated world, first within the church, and then also in society.” (Page 2)
