The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Mark 13:5-10, “And Jesus began to say to them, ‘See to it that no one misleads you.
6 Many will come in My name, saying, “I am He!” and will mislead many.
7 “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.
8 “For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
9 “But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.
10 “The gospel must first be preached to all the nations.”

My late wife, Rose Marie, rarely listened to the news. Yet, she was always
fully informed with regard to what was occurring throughout the world. Her
comment was always: “When you read the Bible, you are always informed about what’s going on in the world.” She did; and she was!

Recently, in this letter, I noted a person who was skeptical of everything
found in the Bible. What was interesting was that he never read the Bible! (Those are always the most accurately informed people, don’t you know?)

The problems that nations encounter seem larger, but they are only larger
because they involve more people. There is an increasingly number of “preachers,” who pretend to share the Word of God –but they are inaccurate at almost every turn! Scores of people, who never read the Bible, are infected with false teachers’ epidemic of errors! To keep from being infected with their error, we must study the Scriptures daily and affiliate only with churches where we will hear and see God’s Truth.

As born-again believers in the risen Jesus Christ, we are responsible to
share Him with others. Jesus Christ is coming again! And the difficulties
we are currently encountering are precisely the difficulties He foresaw
and predicted. Believers are being arrested today even for praying
quietly (some silently) on public sidewalks outside abortion clinics.
Christian schoolteachers are being dismissed from teaching positions because they are using the names the parents gave their children at birth!

It’s as if the world has gone wild! –and indeed it has! Yet, while we witness these previously unbelievable occurrances, it is precisely these
things that Jesus said would come to pass prior to His Return in the air!

If you know Him, share Him with someone who doesn’t know Him!
If you don’t know Him, turn your life over to Him in prayer –right now!!
Ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse your life, and make you into His
likeness! Then, get into the Bible –the New Testament—and start your new life the right way today!

I would love to hear from you and know that you have become a born-again believer! Your name and email address will NOT BE SHARED! But, I will pray earnestly for you in your new life with Christ! God bless you!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
