"The first time He came the reality of the fullness of His person was hidden. The next time He comes, it won't be. The next time there will be no Bethlehem, there will be no stable, there will be no manger, there will be no carpenter shop, there will be no humble village. There will be no poverty, no dusty roads to walk, no sinners to attack Him and grieve Him, no false religious leaders to oppose Him. There will be no demons who will stalk His steps, no soldiers to pound nails into His hands and thorns into His brow. There will be no spear run into His side. There will be no cross, not the next time. The next time He comes it is the unveiling. There will be no humble form. There will be no servant form. There will be no human form alone, but only that glorified God/Man in full blazing Shekinah presence."

This past Sunday I preached on the return of Jesus at the Cedar Creek Church of Christ. I believe the church desperately needs a renewed sense of anticipation for the return of the Lord. Below is a quote (it's a good one) I used from John MacArthur:

Maranatha Lord Jesus
BTW, great sermon you did at Cedar Creek...I downloaded the podcast. I really do miss hearing you preach!!
Thanks Melissa. I was very nervous especially at the beginning.
Has anyone ever told you that you sound a little like Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs?" Maybe its just me (my wife swears I am deaf), but I started streaming the podcast, and I thought that I should be hearing a pitch for Ford trucks or a story about maggot farmers (or something dirty).
I haven't heard that, but I like that dude's pipes.
