The Premise

This week I have one message from my own dear father. And guess what, HE WAS RETWEETED!! By an absolute stranger at that. Boo yah! You see, people are getting into the conversation. Let's get to the tweet!

The Quotes

The Glorious Rapture!

Consider how amazing it is to know that in the end, after all is said & everything has come undone, we will be in glory. But note that we aren't going to sneak in the back door, we are going to get the royal treatment. The trump will resound. The Lord Himself will descend (no messengers here). And then we will be shown the best room in the place--the one where Christ Himself is. That is a glorious hope. It is a great thing to look forward to.
