2010. Wouldn't this be a great year to let Jesus into your heart, if you don't know him? Time is approaching the midnight hour and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.....Will you be ready? 2009 brought a lot of trying times for people all around the world, with economic struggles for most every country. But one thing remained constant.....God's love for his people, for those who know him.
The Church of God is looking, and praying for people who are unafraid to stand in the face of religious adversity, to stand for complete Biblical truth, no matter what country or religious background you may have. Jesus reminds us in His Olivet discourse in Matthew 24 and 25 of the things to signify the coming of the end of the world. I encourage you to read that and see how close we have come. Realize also how also he focuses on Deception in the last days. Satan will try to deceive you.....stay in the Word of God (KJV) and know the signs of a deceiver. I will write more soon concerning this.
Have a blessed New Year.....And if you don't know Him....Let Jesus in, in 2010!
