SUMMARY:

This is our follow-up discussion from our interview with Levi Minderhoud. We discuss the principle that we can expand the kingdom of God by declaring his truth (the law) and his gospel in our own small areas of influence. This can include school districts, libraries, and towns. It is loving and honors God when we advocate for his truth and standards. As we do this, we partially carry out the mandate to subdue the earth.
