So, Jesus is our authority on Kingdom Values. His IMPERATIVES are our commandments. I believe we are called to live what Jesus taught and exemplified in our lives, and not just praise and worship Him and give our tithes. What Jesus taught is in the Gospels. Want to follow Him? FOLLOW HIM - LIVE what Jesus taught and exemplified! The world will be a better place for it!
