The Dangers to Rest

The Dangers to Rest: The Brides' Warning is the fourth book in the Wake Up and Rest Series. We have been inundated with not the shout of triumph but the incessant worldly scream of pending disaster. And sadly, those distractions have kept the majority of the bride of Christ from being prepared for His return. They have allowed the world and its supreme ruler to distract them from the dangers that lie in their path. In this book, Pastor Tom takes a verse-by-verse study of Chapters 2 and 3 of the book of Revelation, studying the messages Jesus personally delivered to His churches... to His bride. It's a journey that not only deals with why Jesus is coming back for His bride, but also discovering what she is to be doing while she waits and watches for His return. "Many casual worshipers in Christian churches today who are quite familiar with the Sermon on the Mount are not aware of the existence of the seven messages of Christ [in Revelation]. Many of the evils and shortcomings which exist in the church today are a direct outgrowth of neglect of the solemn instruction given to these seven churches." -John F. Walvoord The country's economics have been turned upside down and fear and panic have grabbed the headlines as the Middle East falls into chaos. The news is full of rampant pandemics, meteorological disasters, hopeless individuals committing tragic acts, and families destroyed. The challenges facing the 21st century church may not be the lions, boiling oil, fire or crucifixion that faced the 1st century believers, but the clouds on the horizon are unnervingly similar and they are driving many to the last book in the Bible. For a number of years the Lord impressed upon Pastor Tom the strong message that we, the bride of Christ, are not prepared for His return. It's for this hour that Jesus' letters were delivered. It's for this hour that The Brides' Warning was written.
