(ESV)\n\n        The sign in front of the church says ``The end is coming.''\n   Next Sunday is the last Sunday of the Church Year, so this\n   warning may be overlooked.  However, in the past six weeks we\n   have hosted two funerals, so for some the warning is very real.\n   Even as we try to ignore the truth, we are ever closer to the\n   judgment, the day when we are called to give an account of our\n   stewardship of this life.\n\n        When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the\n        angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious\n        throne.  Before him will be gathered all the nations,\n        and he will separate people one from another as a\n        shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.  And he\n        will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the\n        left.\n\n\n        There is no neutral position.  As much as we would like to\n   think that we can be lost in the crowd, we will either be on the\n   right hand or the left hand of Christ Jesus as He sits on His\n   judgment throne.  Remaining silent, having no opinion, is just as\n   condemning as actively persecuting the Church to silence the\n   message of salvation by grace through faith for the sake of\n   Christ.\n\n        The end is indeed coming.  This week we will again hear that\n   God desires that all people be placed on His right hand, that\n   heaven is prepared for all people.  Those who are saved are saved\n   because of God's love.  Those who are lost are lost because of\n   the hardness of their own hearts.\n\n        May our Lord grant that we hear of His grace and mercy for\n   our eternal blessing.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 17, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4034"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4035,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4034\/revisions\/4035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
