This world has an end date.
This world has an end date.
Only God knows when. But we would be foolish to ignore the signs of the times.
In the gospel of Matthew chapter 24 Jesus spoke words of warning and comfort to His disciples. Those words are still true.
Get ready now. Dedicate your life to Him today. Follow Him today. Turn from the ways of this wicked world now.
He loves you. He's coming back.

Food for thought.
Hierarchy and hypocrisy are not new. What lessons can we learn from the past?
Was there someone from the highest hierarchy who dealt a crushing blow to hypocrisy?

Take Comfort.
Take comfort.
As we continue to mourn the senseless murder of 6 innocent lives, and all the chaos and tragedy of our current world, please remember this:
Evil exists.
But so does the Lord.
Let Him show you His love and comfort.
May we turn back to Him, as individuals and as a nation, that we may be healed.
