    Christian Greetings! It is my belief that in the Great Day of the Lord, everything that we know will be changed to eternal from decay and any kind of transitory state. As things finished on this day are how they will remain in the changed earth and changed heavens. When Christ meets his own he will carry his love into the rest in his home in heaven.

    Love to you all, in Christ Jesus.

    Thank you brother Chris! Another way to think of mission, are children growing up within all the nations every day until the great day. Jesus does not want the children hindered in coming to him by our own understandings. I think we must always remember this.

    God bless you.

    Indeed brother; how precious and special were the little children to Jesus, "for of such is the kingdom of heaven". The Name of Jesus must be lifted up to all, even the little ones. And unless people, lost in their sin, "become as little children" before God, they will be lost forever.

    Just as children with inquiring minds, without the trappings of the world to blind them, and child-like faith to receive the good & precious things of God, the men & women of this world would do well to learn from these little ones what their Creator requires of them so they too might hear and understand this life-saving, life-giving Gospel. And our God even gives us His Spirit to bring us to the end of ourselves and unto Himself, that we might ultimately know and proclaim, that "this is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes". Blessings to you brother.

    Christian Greetings brother Spencer and Brother Chris. Again, thank you for your encouragements in the Lord!

    I am not sure why, but neither of your replies to the last reply of my own were notified to me. I think I even checked this morning by signing in and still saw no replies. Sorry for my late thank you!

    Not a problem brother. These things do happen, though I have to admit that replies/notifications to me have been more consistent in these past months than before. And since we have only one page of discussions presented, I usually start at the bottom and work to the top to ensure that I don't miss any, even if I did not receive a reply email. I guess we just have to live with it or work around it. Thanks for letting us know. GBU.

    "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Matthew 24:14 KJV

    Amen.

    Great Scripture bro. Carleton. Of course, some would argue that the "Gospel of the Kingdom" was the Gospel preached to Israel and the Gentiles would receive the Gospel that proceeds from the Cross; but whatever our understanding on this is, this is where we are at: that the Gospel would reach the farthest parts of the globe that all may hear that there is a Savior who loves them and gave His Life for them and a waiting heavenly Father ready to receive all who believe on His Son. There are several missions today that are doing just that: reaching out to the unreached peoples of the Earth. They certainly need our prayers and support if we cannot go ourselves. "and then shall the end come"; may we not be ashamed at His coming by neglecting this final thrust unto a people who have never heard of Jesus. Blessings.
