2 Corinthians 5

...and while I'm at it let me point you to this one as well......it may not be up yet but be looking for the service from yesterday 10/11....Roy spoke to 'leaving and cleaving'.....the power of a marriage based on these principles blows me away in it's TRUTH. But remember you have to 'hear' it, to hold onto it as truth and that is a process....to simply ignore it doesn't make it any less true ......

They only remind us of the spacious living conditions ahead. It's what we trust in but don't yet see that keeps us going. Do you suppose a few ruts in the road or rocks in the path are going to stop us? When the time comes, we'll be plenty ready to exchange exile for homecoming.

Sooner or later we'll all have to face God, regardless of our conditions. We will appear before Christ and take what's coming to us as a result of our actions, either good or bad.
