A wise man once said, "There are two things, the actual and the ideal. To be mature is to see the ideal and to live with the actual. To fail is to accept the actual and reject the ideal. To accept that which is only ideal and refuse the actual is to be immature. Maturity is to live with the actual but hold onto the ideal." (Don Basham) Understanding that we are in Stage 2 of Kingdom development frees us to hold to the ideal while living and ministering in the context of the actual. "Kingdom of God: From Near to Here" connects missing dots by making obvious what is hidden in plain sight in Scripture about the four stages of Kingdom development. This booklet includes Biblical and practical insights. It also includes several helpful diagrams, time lines, and study guide questions.
