And as the end nears it will only get worse we have been told. The more I see the more tightly I hold to the true word of truth.
AMEN!
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name....Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (Rev 3:8,10)
BTW,I think that 'open door' that no man can shut is the rapture of the church.
