The Feeding God's Sheep

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021

We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church. When some Christians say that, it makes you wonder why they say that. I say this because their life-styles do not reflect that they believe He is going to come very soon.

But once they were gone, we did pretty much what we wanted to do. But then someone would say, “Here comes Dad and Mom!” All of a sudden we ...read more
