This article was written especially for Church in Action. It is followed by an account of one of the many ways in which Truth and Love are becoming apparent, how God's kingdom and the operation of His law are being recognized and proved to be the actual facts of being here and now—how church is growing today.
The word "Church" means vastly more than a material building erected for the purpose of glorifying Deity—more even than an organized group of people dedicated to the worship of the one God. Metaphysically understood, Church is the structure of reality, existing intact throughout eternity.
