Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter by chapter verse by

study through the entire Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues

his message, watch and be ready as we pick up in First Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 6. And now with today's

study, here's Pastor Chuck.

Therefore, let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober.

For they that sleep, sleep in the night, and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

For God has not appointed us to wrath, praise the Lord, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

God's wrath is going to come upon the earth.

Jesus said, quoting from Daniel,

and there shall be a time of great tribulations

such as the world has never seen before or ever see again.

And in the book of Revelation from chapter 6 through 18,

we have details of that great judgment of God

that will be coming upon the earth.
