The Careless Bride

This sermon was overwhelming for me. Jesus Christ warned of this hour when,"Sin would abound and many would grow cold…."Matt. 24. The Lord loves his Saints and wants us in his Bride at the Rapture. But many are so careless and have heard so many preachers say, do not worry, all believers will go in the rapture regardless of their spiritual condition. How do they disregard so much of the Word of God. Jesus said to the Church–and there is no doubt that it was to the Church– "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." (Revelation 2:5) Apostle Paul warned us of the Church He is coming to receive. "That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot of wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:27) My burden is to see a multitude get really for the glorious moment of His return. Comments are welcome at jrc@pawcreek.org
