The Administration of the Kingdom of God

It is possible that the central issue in Christianity in our day is the administration of the Kingdom of God.
Never before have the gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit been so widespread among the believers. But this familiarity with the power and ability of the Spirit is creating a problem.
