Bible Text: Matthew 24:36-44
“What is the present condition of the evangelical church? The bulk of Christians are asleep. I do not mean that the bulk of Christians who come to evangelical churches are not converted. Because if I meant that, I would say they were dead and never had been born again. But I say they are asleep. It is possible to be morally asleep yet mentally-intellectually-physically- and theologically alert. The present condition is that we are asleep.” AW TOZER
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Romans 13 :11
