Beloved as for you I am persuaded that you are not one of the religious churchgoers.

Endeavor to sustain the relationship till you meet Him in the air , after the dawning rapture.

But just in case this has not happened, do something immediately to avert the wrath of God awaiting such people inside and outside the church. See it.

Do the needful now and receive mercy of the Lord, tomorrow is not guaranteed.
