    Jesus taught that the Son of Man would return when we least expect him. This has implications for future, end-time theology as well as present-day, right-now living. Our Father wants us to live with expectant hope because He can show up in any situation at any moment.

I'm not going to tell you what it is just yet, but I want you to keep it in mind as we go through our ...read more

The average Christian doesn’t know the difference between union with Christ and communion with Christ: (verse 5 is ...read more
