Thou knowest my great unfitness for service,
my present...”

Will we be ready?
At CCM retreat last week, our discussion was led to the topic of the second coming of Christ. We were talking about how this truth can so often become such an obscure idea to us that we don’t perceive it to be “news”. We base alot of our lives around news all the time…It’s been raining all week, and the weather forecast says that it will rain again tomorrow- so as...
