THE DAY IS COMING.

Good morning, but all the times and seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. But you brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. We are all the children of light, and the children of the day, we are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as the others but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and foreign helmet, the hope of salvation. For God has not appointed us to rat, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Where for comfort yourselves together and edify one another even as also you do. These words came directly from the King James Version of the Holy Bible chapter 5 of first Thessalonians vs 1 through 11. This is the model walk that all Christians should walk. But let's not use this as a tool to judge people. Let's all work individually to live this way as much as is possible. These truths are the foundation given to us by the Apostle Paul as a foundation to begin our Christian life and walk. I want to add a footnote to judge a situation, a certain walk of life, and attitude, is very difficult to accomplish without stepping over too far into a person's salvation. We must be careful. I know firsthand how difficult this is. May God be with you and may God be with all of us as we endeavor to serve our Lord honestly reverently and holy, recognizing that we are sinners still... Saved by grace, we are not yet perfect as he is perfect but that day is coming. God bless and have a very blessed day.
