But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear

     him who, after the killing of the body, has the power to

     throw you into HELL. Yes, I tell you, fear him."

  Is something holding you back?

   Which should hold the greater fear...physical or spiritual death?

   How indeed should we pursue our future?

       
       "The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled
   so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers
   over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
   Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully
   administering God's grace in its various forms.

   If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.

   If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that
   in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory
   and the power for ever and ever. Amen."  (3)
