Endings - Are We There Yet?


“But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, ‘In the last time, there shall be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.’ These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith; praying in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority before all time and now and forever. Amen” Jude 17-25

So very much here as we near the end of the New Testament from the end passages. This one is so rich, you may wish to print it out and carry it with you this weekend and just meditate on it.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: Ongoing prayer requests: Healing of Barb and Gary, who lost their jobs; wisdom for doctors caring for: Doris, David, Adrian, Randy and Michael. The Kossallys and me during some big changes. For a new work project for me. Praise: Lyle’s brother (out of hospital, learning to stand again).
