- Our church believes fully in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ:
- The Pre-tribulation Rapture
- The Great Tribulation on Earth
- The Pre-millennial Return of Christ
- The 1,000 Year Reign of Christ
- A Picture of this Reign (Isaiah 2:2-4)
- But there are those who do not believe this. Are we foolish as they say?
- Read Poem
I stood on the streets of a busy town,
Watching men tearing a building down:
With a "Ho, heave ho," and a lusty yell,
They swung a beam and a sidewall fell.
I asked the foreman of the crew,
"Are those men as skilled as those you'd hire if you wanted to
build?"
"Ah, no," he said, "no indeed.
Just common labor is all I need:
I can tear down as much in a day or two,
As would take skilled men a year to do."
And then I thought as I went on my way.
Just which of these two roles am I trying to play?
Have I walked life's road with care,
Measuring each deed with rule and square?
Or am I one of those who roam the town,
Content with the labor of tearing down?
