    This is actually a difficult passage to speak with authority, but I will try as we although we believe in healing, we don’t see enough of it in our churches.

    Encourage One Another!

     | 13,267 views

    We don't know when Jesus will come again, or whether we will die before that and go to meet our Savior. We do know that we should be wide awake and ready 24/7 for that encounter. And to that end, we are called to encourage one another rather than to incite fear and panic.

    Do you believe that Jesus will one day come back from where he has gone? Do you believe that there is actually going to be a point of time in our history, or better: in our future, when God will intervene in the flow of history in a way that will have a cosmic impact?
