Emphasis Preaching Journal

There is a wonderful balance between patiently waiting for and anticipating Christ's coming again. An American mission team to Brazil was to participate in a Sunday morning worship service. The group arrived promptly at 9:30 a.m. to be ready for the 10 a.m. service. There were several people present to make the usual Sunday morning preparations. As the appointed hour drew near, the pastor seemed very relaxed as the team waited in his study. The hour approached and passed and, still, they waited.
