Happy New Year! I thought to start a thread of hope. That the Gospel's furtherance will surely escape any label they wish to pin one on, haha! If that were the objective, I would simply maintain the status-quo and wish you Happy New Year from the 'Kingdom Stay Put' portion, oftentimes used as: "Occupy till I come". But isn't it true in everything we do, we give thanks in hopes of bearing fruit.
"Occupy"(Luke 19:13), , not merely to "possess," as it often does in our language,
but to "improve," to employ "in business," for the purpose
of increasing it or of making "profit" on it." - Barnes
That 'His kingdom is not of this world, so we have no place to increase' night is spent. "Thy kingdom come" (Matthew 6:10) does not need the kingdom of this world! If God wills, we will see it's increase!
