FEAR NOT! as many Scriptures exhort.
But, Christ Himself exhorted us to watch the signs of the end and to be alert, aware, discerning and especially walking close to Him; listening to HIS VOICE; His Spirit etc.
Otherwise, there's a lot to be said for the Hallmark focus on the positiveness of The Gospel and a relationship with God.
THX.
AMEN!
