PREACH THE WORD IN AND OUT OF SEASON

1 Thessalonians 4:9- Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. 3. While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. 4. But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief. There was a time when preachers preached the uncompromising Word of God, a strong sound doctrine the church- about day of Lord's return- THE GREAT TRIBULATION, heaven and hell, end time prophecy , etc. We gotten away from a lot of that in the church, because we want the people to feel good without being good or rather godly and living holy. I am reminded of an old hymn- DRIFT AWAY that says : There's a storm out on the ocean and moving in this a way so if not anchored in Jesus you will surely Drift Away. That is NOT a threat but a promise the old school saints used like Jesus come at any time the but saints of today primarily live for their own prosperity and comfort down in here as if Jesus is never coming back. I would caution you my brothers don't let your love and passion for God grow cold by being all caught up in the cares of the world. The wheat and the chaff are still together for now but don't be surprised that as we are living in the last days -some of those who that you thought was wheat and strong in kingdom of God, rooted and grounded in the Word and a their relationship with the Lord- have now become deceived and are taking up their time with this world's philosophy and ways of doing things and you see them suddenly begin to drift away.
