    The Lord’s Patience Is Only Giving Us Extra Time To Be Saved

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 17, 2021
     | 2,015 views

    1. In the last days, there will be scoffers (v. 3) 2. The scoffers will be following their own evil (sinful) desires (v. 3) 3. They will mock the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything ...read more
