Proclaiming
Christ’s Return
The
church has failed to keep divine
objectives in view because she has
neglected the prophetic message of the
Word of God. This neglect has caused
Christians bewilderment, confusion and
ignorance in a world that seems to be
disintegrating around them. Many
Christians needlessly wring their hands
and ask, “What is going to happen to
us? What does the future hold?” Many
of them are filled with fear, even though
our Lord said, “Fear not.”

is your opinion?
Should

his raise when he did?
Put a
"1" in the subject line if you
believe the city council was right to
give him the raise and bonus when they
did.
Put a "2" in the subject line if you
