The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.

Would we send our daughters off to have sex if it would benefit our country? Yet, we send our sons off to kill when we think it would benefit our country!

Redemption is a magnificent thing ..the life of God in the soul of man

The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.

Isn't it amazing that God gives breath to a man who is going to blaspheme Him all day!

The more men pray, the less worldly they become. The less they pray, the more worldly they become. I am, of course, speaking of professing Christians at this point.

We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.
