    Introduction My Bible tells me as we approach the end times, there will be one major event that will occur that the church is silent about for the most part, and therefore, the church is not teaching its members to be aware. But this event must occur, and we must be prepared for it because God ...read more

    Letter To The Laodicea Congregation Series

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on May 24, 2015
