Amen and amen. Good morning and welcome. You can be seated. Thank you. I want to welcome those of you that are joining us online. We're so very glad that you are. This is our first of two services on Sunday morning, which is devoted to the weekly Bible prophecy update. Second service, which will be at 11.15 a.m. Hawaii standard time. That'll be live

streamed as well. Is our verse by verse study through the Bible. We're currently in 1st John,

the third chapter. And today, we're going to look at why it is that the fruit from my life will always expose what's at the root of my life.

Got a catch to it, yeah?

Nice title.

Just humor me.

Tell me it's a nice title.

Those of you that are watching by way of YouTube and Facebook,

you might want to go directly to the website at jdfrog.org

because at some point we'll end the live stream,

and there you'll find the uninterrupted and uncensored

entirety of today's update so with that let's get started what I want to talk with you

about today is what I'm going to affectionately refer to as one having a pre-trib rapture preparedness.

And the reason I'm choosing this title and topic is because whether we realize it or not, we are being prepared.

And even in some cases, program, dare I say,

it's not really a matter of if we're being prepared.

It's more a question of are we prepared for what's being prepared.

I know this might come off as maybe an oversimplification, but I'll say it nonetheless.

We're either prepared by the world, for the world, or were prepared to be taken out of the world.

And this by way of the pre-tribulation rapture of the church, which I will never shrink back from. I don't care who says what about that.

I will never cower or falter or be intimidated by anybody that says you're so dogmatic about the

pre-tribulation rapture I needed to get that off my chest right out of the shoe
