Hebrews 9:27 will explain and John3:36 will be a fact! Read your Bible to KNOW God, The Lord Jesus Christ, His father The LORD, being taught by The Holy Spirit according to The WORD of God. Why? So that GOD might get the glory and our joy be full.

Lesson # 24 One Year 365 Bible Class (read 5-11 June) will be conducted at VBC ,on 11 June 2017.

((Are you following a creed or The Christ?))  What does The LORD require of all men to have in order to come into His presence? Stephen continues his history lesson for the religious crowd in Acts 7. We ought to be able to recite the same lesson at a moment's notice. Psalm 128 reminds us of what promises God has made to His children?  Proverbs does NOT say that old age is a guarantee for joy.
Sun 11 1st Kings 8 records the magnificent appearance of God in the temple in a thick dark cloud because things were in order. How does this affect your concept of God? What was the emphasis of Solomon's prayer? Do you strive to pray like Solomon? If not, why not?

Accept the admonition of Proverbs 17:1 and be satisfied.
