"Choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom….They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 6:3,5).

“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:36). According to this passage there is only one way in which we can be prepared for the coming of the Lord when He appears, that is,... Read More
