Sheltering in place and hoping to refocus more on God’s word. Good message, I might add: 1) As the WSC begins: Q. 1. What is the chief end of man? A.

Joh 6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Joh 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

The Apostle John called the Christian leaders who do this antichrists.
