My FAVORITE SCRIPTURES (categorized)

AWESOME FREE BOOK:  "2007" by Shelby Corbitt.  Here's an excerpt:
The rapture of the church (God's children) will happen during the SUMMER OF 2007. This could be anytime from June 21-September 21. This means Jesus Christ is going to appear in the eastern sky and call all His children up to Heaven, leaving all the sinners and unbelievers behind - this is not the end of the world - but it will be the beginning of a terrible tribulation for those left behind. Rapture is a Greek word that means caught up.
