Allegiance to the Kingdom

"On the day of Pentecost the Spirit began something entirely new…. Those being saved declared their allegiance to Christ by throwing in their lot with the original apostolic band. They didn’t just ‘receive Jesus into their hearts,’ and then decide to attend worship services in Jerusalem. No, they declared and defined their allegiance to the Kingdom by joining themselves with God’s new society–with those whose lives were marked by an altogether different way of living where heart, soul, house and property were shared."
~ Charles Moore

Allegiance Demanded

"Jesus demands greater allegiance than any dictator that ever lived. The difference is that Jesus has a right to it!" ~ Vance Havner
