Kingdom Living has to do with life in the kingdom of God. We believe that the church is not the kingdom of God. This we base on Jesus' words that the kingdom of God is in us. Every believer that truly follow Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit living in close fellowship or communion with Him has the kingdom of God within him or her. Those that do the will of God. So many times believers confuse the prevailing culture with kingdom culture. If any man be in Christ he is a new creation, the old things have past away everything has become new. This means that even the culture I was part of before is no more 'my' culture. But I have a new culture, a kingdom culture. God's kingdom culture.

Many psychologically minded people believe that there's no place for sympathy it's all about empathy. This is nonsense because even though the word sympathy is not in the Bible, the word compassion embrace's sympathy.

Philosophically, compassion is often linked to moral responsibility—tied to ethics, altruism, and even justice. In many religious traditions, it’s seen as a divine attribute or virtue.
