But what we are going to see is what Jesus tells us to think about the last days. And it might actually surprise you. 1 As ...read more

Reading The Times Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Dec 1, 2008

Christians wait and watch for Jesus’ return. We know the season, but we don’t know the time, and we live in the paradox.
