0:18.8	What does the imminent return of Christ do to us? How is the imminent return of Christ motivates us in our lives, in our Christian walk? And believers have been impacted both ways regarding the question of the imminent return of Christ. Does it motivate us to work hard,
0:40.2	give sacrificially, give of ourselves, be faithful, and be busy for the work of God,
