Trust & Lean Only on Jesus

Have been reading a remarkable book by Marvin Moore, The Coming Calamity, Pacific Press Publishing Association, 1997.

By using Holy Scripture, Mr Moore paints a future picture of life just prior to Jesus' second coming. It's impressive and scary.

But here's the point: trust & lean totally on Jesus prior and during Earths end. Rely only on God to see you thru Earth's darkest, scary time. God will be happy to protect you and care for you during that time.

Read Psalm 91 for courage and God's promises. Cling to God, He can handle it.
