Departure Ready
Scripture reveals God's order therefore we believe the seven years coined as the Tribulation will begin and end in the Spring of the year and it will begin in God's Sabbath year. In God's Word - when kings went to war it was in the Spring - thus when Jesus returns to earth to do war as the King of kings - we believe it will be in the Spring.

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 11:6

All who trust in their own works to Save them or to keep them Saved, cancel out the GRACE of GOD!

When one Believes unto Salvation they are Eternally Saved!

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Timothy 2:15

Apr 21, 08 - 8:21 AM 		MILES AND MILES OF SCRIPTURE

by Cornelius R. Stam

How much, I wonder, do the Christian parents among our readers show their children their love for the Word, and for Christ, and for the souls for whom He died?

For many years I worked with my father, first full-time, then part-time, as a city missionary in Paterson, N.J. All during these first years dad and I walked to work together each morning -- a little over a mile.

Do you know how we invariably occupied ourselves on the way? By quoting Scripture passages on some particular subject. One morning we would quote as many passages as we could on the deity of Christ, another on His death or resurrection; others on His love, power, grace, or other attributes and characteristics. Sometimes, for days or weeks on end dad would use these morning walks to ply me with questions such as: "What Scriptures would you use to deal with a blaspheming unbeliever?" or "a self-righteous person" or "one who rejects Christ on intellectual grounds?"

In this way we covered "miles and miles" of Scripture, as it were, and this in addition to Scripture reading before every meal at home, and again before we retired for the night. And all this again in addition to the oral and written Bible teaching of many of the great Bible expositors of that day, whose teachings we studied with deepest interest.

What a precious heritage!

We wish that more of our Christian young people today were as well off.

Parents: it's strictly up to you.

What are your priorities?

What are you willing to pay -- in terms of pleasure, ease or financial "success"?

Do you set an example to your children -- and others -- by really putting God first?
