We have heard about the tragedies of the World Trade Center collapses from many people who are of the jewish and islamic faiths. People in these and many other religions of man have a problem. They are separated from God by their sins. Only by repenting and being baptized into the Lord Jesus Christ can anyone have their sins forgiven (Acts 2:37-39). Then and only then will the Lord add them to His Kingdom (Acts 2:47). What about you tonight? Have you obeyed the commandments of the King? Have you been baptized for the remission of your sins? If you have not, we plead with you to read and obey the commandments of God before it is too late. Please check the scriptures out for yourselves to see what God would have you to do to be granted citizenship in His Kingdom. We hope to see you next time on "Speaking the Truth in Love".
