Messer "not blogging anymore," and more a matter of those rich "little whiles" which his risen Lord speaks of in the Upper Room. "In a little while, you wiil not see Me; and in a little while, you will see Me (John 16:16)."<br /><br />Every body needs a break, now and then. According to the Authorized Version, blessed St. Paul preached for a "long while" (Acts 20:11), and a guy proceeded to fall asleep and fall out of a window.<br /><br />Pax et gaudium!<br /><br />Your (unworthy) servant,<br />Herr DoktorMichael L.

These people need to flee to where Christ promised to be, in His church, repentant and begging for His mercy for they have not kept God's Law. For them, and for our salvation, God sent His Son, to die for our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
