“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him…Even so, Amen” (Rev 1:7). I recall attending a camp in my childhood where they had a weather rock hanging from a chain.

To some the mental image of God is a blur of disappointment. “Here,” they say resentfully, “is One whom I trusted, but He let me down.” The rest of their lives is shadowed by this letdown…God is a Disappointment.

Hypocrisy is the great impediment in evangelism. Our Lord prayed that His people might be marked by reality. “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth” (Jn 17:17). A.W.
