Members of the Philadelphia Church of God are currently in the midst of observing the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day. These holy days picture future events that will transform the Earth and the universe. But none of this would be possible without God’s loving government. During the holy days, we prepare to receive authority within God’s imminent world-ruling government structure. We learn how to use authority to love, give, and serve. To fulfill the meaning of these days in the future, we will have to love, give, and serve. In God’s Work today, we have the opportunity to love, give, and serve.
