Be encouraged to stand for the truth, even if there be some who will not accept the truth. 1John 3:13-16 “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

I’m listening for the sound of the trumpet!!! Just a few headlines to leave you with. “German Chancellor said on 7-17-25 “that Germany will soon be providing Ukraine with long range missiles. Dmitry Medvedev has publicly stated that Russia is now essentially in ‘a full-fledged war’ with Nato and that launching ‘preventative strikes’ should be on the table.”

To all the scoffers, the lukewarm, the compliance, the uncommitted, who profess to be a Christians, I would not want to be found with fig leaves on when the trump of God sounds to take his bribe out of this world. Oh no my friend, I’d want to make sure I had the wedding garment on, (Matt.22:2-14) and have all the spots, blemishes, and wrinkles washed away, (Eph.5:25-27), 1John 1:6-7 by the blood of the precious lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank God you still have time (2 Pet.1:10) to “give diligence to make your calling and election sure…” Remember James 4:14, that “…your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

Even if the Lord Jesus does not come today, (and he could) or tomorrow, we don’t know if today or tomorrow we could draw our last breath and (Heb.9:27, then “after this the judgment). We all have a choice to deny oneself and take up the cross and follow Jesus or choose this world and its pleasures and follow Satan. It’s just that simple, as the song says “Me or the world my friend, which one will you take? I’ll take Jesus.” Maranatha!!!!!
