directions, and guidance on the level of living experience and reality proven by miracles. The first section, Church and State, addresses themes of the specializations of Christianity, Christian service not social service, the church and temporal authority, the church and the homeland, the church and the freedom of the Christian citizen, the responsibility of the Christian citizen toward governing systems, the church and the persecution complex, the church and religious bigotry, and the church and its relation to wars. Meanwhile, the second section discusses sectarianism and bigotry. In the church we covenant to lose everything for Christ and count everything in the world as refuse and loss for the excellence of His knowledge and love.
