Nothing shall separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

ROMANS 8: 35-39 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

WANT PEACE?

2 THESSALONIANS 3:16   Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; …

HEBREWS 13:20-21  20  Now the God of peace, … 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; …

JOHN 14:27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: …

WAITING IS ALMOST OVER

2 THESSALONIANS 3:5  And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

2 PETER 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

HEBREWS 10:36-37  36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

1 THESSALONIANS 1:10  … wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

COLOSSIANS 3:4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

REVELATION 22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:7,9,10,18  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

LIFE’S SETTING SUN

I’m a mess this day as you can see

And I don’t know what is happening to me

For I know that there is no reason to feel

This loneliness, for thou art with me still

But I do Lord, I am so sorry Lord, but I do

And I believe that on this earth you did too

It was not that the Father had left you alone

Our human race failed to make you feel at home

We often think of self rather than one another

Forgetting our brother, sister, father and mother

For the cares of this world and such as the like

Till life fades like the setting sun into the night

And oh, how miserable art we of all man kind

Failing to comprehend where to draw the line

Between our want to have to and need to do

By slighting one another Lord, we’ve slighted you

Help us understand how much we each need

To be a part of each other’s life’s consistently

Not just on special occasions, not once in a while

But all the days of our life throughout life’s miles

2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-7  1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

HEBREWS 12:28  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

ISAIAH 51:10  Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

1 THESSALONIANS 5:2-3  1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
