Being a Christian Activist in 2022

I WORSHIP A KING …DO YOU KNOW HIM?
I worship a King. A King enthroned in Heaven at the right hand of His Father. A King whose authority extends to every place that exists or ever could exist. A King whose reign extends to the farthest reaches of this Earth and throughout the entirety of this whole creation.
