It Will Come (view alternate summary 2)
Preached Wednesday, November 9, 2005
The basis for this message comes from the vision of Habakkuk (Hab Ch.2)."Though it (the vision) tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." It focuses on what and who we ought to be, and what it is exactly that we are trying to escape from by salvation. And what it is that they that are appointed to wrath must be, do, and experience in order that they should not escape.
