APPLICATION

SELF-REFLECTION
- Ask yourself one of the following questions:
  - As a Christian, how can I help to hold back the sin of racial division, injustice, racism?
  - Do I know the purpose to which God has called me?
  - How am I representing the “homeland (kingdom of God)?” Read I Peter 2:4-5, 9-11
- Purpose of the Church:
  - Levy to hold back evil.
  - Promote the kingdom of God.
  - Coming together of individual stones unified to make something bigger (levy).
  - Made up of individuals who are linked whose job is to reflect and legislate the values of the kingdom of
    God.
  - God’s legislative agency from heaven to history.
