(ESV)\n\n Jesus was teaching His disciples about the judgment of all\n people at the end of the age. His warning was not only for His\n disciples, but for all people of all time.\n\n But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down\n with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this\n life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap.\n For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the\n whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that\n you may have strength to escape all these things that\n are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of\n Man.\n\n\n We all take to heart the Boy Scout motto, ``Be Prepared.''\n This time of year we keep a blanket and food and a shovel in the\n car, not that we expect to be stranded, but in case that happens.\n We stock up on the non-perishable items that we may need in case\n of a blizzard. Many have a backup generator to power their\n houses in the event of an electrical outage.\n\n In the same way we prepare for winter, we should prepare for\n the coming of Christ Jesus to judge the living and the dead. Our\n preparation is not by having candles and matches and extra food,\n but in reading, learning, and hearing about God's rich grace,\n love, and mercy. We prepare for Jesus' second coming by\n acknowledging that He is here, even now, with those who have\n faith in Him.\n\n May our Lord grant us wisdom to hear His Word and to believe\n it. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"December 11, 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-4160","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\/4160","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=4160"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4161,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4160\/revisions\/4161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
