PATCHOGUE CHURCH OF CHRIST

I am coming soon (Rev. 22:20) "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. (Rev 22:12) That’s just a fantastic way to close the Bible. It is the end of the reading but not the end of the story. Our Lord will return, and soon! This ending may also be taken as a gentle reminder, at the close of this year, that a new year, 2015, is on the horizon and therefore makes our Lord’s return much closer. We are closer to our

The indescribable gifts And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Cor 9:14).
