                                                                         1Thessalonians 1:6
                                                       "Therefore let us not sleep,as do others;"
                                                             "but let us watch and be sober"

      Wherever there is a well-grounded hope of eternal life and an exercise of patience: that is a sign of sincerity.  We must speak of God with our lips, but feel him  present in our hearts.  The Spirit of God comes from the Word of God, without it; well, it would just be words to us.
      When careless ignorant people are turned from their carnal pursuits, to believe in and obey the Lord Jesus; to live soberly, righteously, and godly the matter speaks for itself.  We now wait for his coming. God raised Christ from the dead, which gave assurance to all, that he will bring judgement.  He came to purchase Salvation and will, when he comes again, bring Salvation with full and final deliverance from that wrath which is yet to come.
      Let us all flee from the wrath to come, and seek Jesus Christ and his Salvation.  For we know not what tomorrow holds.  May you feel peace and joy in you heart today.  (AMEN)
