Psalm 133:1As the Good Book sez "submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. "In the future this ol' world is go'n to get bad--really bad. It will be very hard to keep our fellowship with Christ and fellow believers. We would do well to remember what the wise, uneducated Ben Franklin said "We must hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang separately.
