Imagine with me for a moment: the year is 4012. The earth remains in existence and still thrives with the in-habitation of humankind.

Minister Christ Petit penned a great reflection of how things used to be, and reminder of where we are. I love forward movement and the Christian youth of today are definitely about that.
