NICOLAITAN ANSWERS

"who are the nicolaitans? what did they do that God hated them?
is Revelation chapter 6 before the tribulation? what did the thunderers say that God would not let him reveal? is there some way that a human being can keep God from returning, in reference to Revelation 3:3?"

sound like a theology class? but it isn't. it is my answer to prayer. these are questions from this precious senior boy who i have been passionately praying for the past two years that he might come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

as a teacher you are not supposed to have favorites but i do and he is mine. he is intelligent beyond belief. he is a wonderful speaker; a great debater; a connoisseur of music; and funny and sweet and handsome. but these many years he has been missing the point of all his skill and talent.

oh, my lovely, lovely Lord and His perfect beautiful timing. this young man is on the precipice of faith in God. he is searching and reading and asking and willing to listen. he is smart and curious and just eating up the Scripture. i am fervently praying for this child's salvation. it is moments like these that pouring myself into my "children" is worth every frustration and heartache. i will keep answering his questions and praying. he keeps quoting "the time is at hand". oh, how i pray for him that it is.
