Abstract

To the eye of faith, this world is an empire; its capital city is heaven; its emperor is Jesus Christ. But the Lord Christ has not yet subjected the world to his law, educated it in his ways or united it in loyalty to himself. To achieve all this he has set throughout his empire colonies…. In the colony, citizens carefully nurture the stories, values and customs of the homeland. They wisely introduce their young ones to a lifestyle that the surrounding culture neither understands nor respects. —Bruce L.
