    We’re not to get caught up in date setting but instead are to be ready at all times to meet the Lord because He will come like a thief in the night. In the meantime, we’re to cultivate faith, love, and hope.

The pastor had been put in jail...(for a very good reason)! It seems that his central message was the return of Christ ...read more
