WE LOVE OUR DENOMINATION MORE THAN WE LOVE JESUS CHRIST, WHO GIVES SALVATION. THAT ALONE IS A SIN.

THE CALLED & ANOINTED:

WE ALL HAVE THE HOPE AND DESIRE TO BE RAPTURED AND LIVE ETERNAL LIFE WITH CHRIST JESUS.

IT SOUNDS GREAT, BUT TO ACCOMPLISH THAT IS SOMEHOW MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT SOUNDS.

FASTING AND PRAYER, ALONG WITH NIGHT VIGIL, ARE NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT IN OUR DAILY LIVES. STILL, OUR LOYALTY AND OBEDIENCE ARE MORE POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE IN OUR RACE TO ETERNITY WITH CHRIST. [1 SAMUEL, 15: 22]

GOD WILL NOT LOWER THE STANDARDS HE HAS SET FOR HIS KINGDOM, THE PARABLE OF THE GREAT BANQUET [LUKE, 14: 15-24] AND THE PARABLE OF THE WEDDING FEAST [MATTHEW, 22: 1-14] TELL OF WHAT TO EXPECT IF WE MUST MAKE THE RAPTURE.

THE PEOPLE THAT WE ALL CONSIDERED UNFIT AND UNWORTHY OF ETERNITY WITH CHRIST MIGHT BE THOSE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SIT AT THE TABLE AND BE WELL HONORED AT HIS BANQUET, WHILE OUR STUBBORNNESS, ARROGANCE, AND HATRED FOR ONE ANOTHER MAY DEPRIVE US OF BEING IN THE BANQUET.

IN CONCLUSION: WE LOVE OUR DENOMINATION MORE THAN WE LOVE JESUS CHRIST, WHO GIVES SALVATION. THAT ALONE IS A SIN.
