Bible Note: Although I would rejoice with you, dear friend about your growth, I must remind you that the Lord's second coming will happen when very, very few people will expect it. Both Jesus and Paul confirm this very clearly as follows: Matt 24:43 "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 1 Thess 5:2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. If we do things the Bible way, that is follow the pattern God gave us in the NT, we can't help but grow. The simplicity of God's Word and the simplicity of the church is very attractive. The Lord knows that the world needs His Grace and Forgiveness. God bless. --Rowdy |
