While driving home I notice a van pulling out from a nondenominational church parking lot, now being behind this van I saw in bold red lettering,  prepare, Jesus is coming.

I was thinking to myself after reading their slogan, I know Jesus is coming back but how is one to prepare for His return ?

No one comes to the Son except through the Father. but the slogan is true, Jesus is coming back.  :)

Rhys 🕊:
I always wondered what they meant by prepare. I think the church would like to think one way is by the tithe and saving the lost.......gotta earn those brownie points before He returns. All quite odd when it's God who does the choosing and His will predetermines all so how are you going to prepare for that.

Yes He's coming back


1Th 4:17  Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

I like the bit that we will always be with the Lord

p.s. Can we prepare by making a cake........big question I know........not sure. I will make a cake and eat it as an offering and see if it helps.  ;D

I think for those who have been called out of the church and led here means excactly what we are doing here since coming to BT, learning God's truths, applying what we have learnt in our lives through God's grace and asking our Lord to strengthen our faith, giving thanks for our blessings, and doing good.
Just my way of thinking.

I see it this way, Do not be caught sleeping, Jesus comes like a thief in the night. I think when you die, that is when Jesus comes for you. Ricky

Kat:

Yeah I think that's the same as the catch phrase the church likes to use "watch."

Luke 21:36  Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

I think the church believes this means watch world events for signs, so you will know when the 'great tribulation' is near and Jesus will come soon after. But I think it has a totally different meaning.

1Cor 16:13  Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
v. 14  Let all that you do be done with love.

Mark 14:38  Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

1Th 5:5  You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
v. 6  Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
v. 7  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
v. 8  But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

mercy, peace and love
