Monday 25 September 2017 and we are still waiting for the shout. If you have not been born again and the shout had occurred this morning you would have been "left behind" and you may very well spend the rest of your natural and supernatural life -eternity away from GOD.

Please read the Bible to see what The LORD says about the second birth. Read John 3:1-36. Believe what YOU READ, admit your "LOST" condition, trust God to be truthful and accept the free gift of eternal life, forgiveness of all sins and prepare to meet GOD. The "on-line" Bible is at the blog site and you can read these scriptures. READ the Bible to know God.
