This last Lord's Day, Pastor Doug O'Donnell preached from Mt. 25:1-13 on the King's coming. The upshot of the sermon was this: "Watch!" "Stay awake!" "Don't grow sleepy!" "Be ready!" "Persevere!" "Take heed!" "For you know neither the day nor the hour" (Mt. 25:13).
So the Church's watchword is: "Watch!" Would we be like the vigilant virgins? If so, we must "watch and pray, lest we enter into temptation. The Spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Mt. 26:41).

Amen! So often we get wrapped up in talking about the second coming of our Lord and Savior, but do truly little to stay vigilant in prayer, and fight very little in keeping our faith.. God, grant me the physical strength as well as revive my spiritual posture to truly be ready for your glorious return.
