Seeing What Christ Is Doing
We live in the most prosperous, healthy, literate, and peaceful era in human history. Extreme poverty is plummeting. Literacy is soaring. Life expectancy has doubled in two centuries. Yet both secular doomsayers and many Christians insist the world is falling apart.
The Gospel is good news not just for individual sinners but for the redemption of all creation. Christ's purpose has never been to abandon His creation but to heal it — to untwist the twisted, to make all things new. The mustard seed is becoming a tree. The leaven is working through the dough. And the evidence is everywhere if we have eyes to see it.

About
His Kingdom Advances on All Fronts is founded and edited by Josh Illian, an elder in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) in Texas. The project grows out of a conviction that the Gospel is good news not just for individual sinners but for the redemption of all creation. That the evidence for that redemption is all around us if we have eyes to see it.
