Is this the end? Or, is that the wrong question?
As the book of Acts begins, the fledgling church finds itself asking the wrong question, foregoing a spiritual promise for a chance at temporal understanding. Jesus points them to outpouring of Pentecost. They want to know if this is when the Kingdom of Israel will be established. The Savior, by now quite accustomed to dealing... Continue Reading →
