Your time, asking questions, searching for answers,..
C. Christians warned/reminded?
Ezek 33:8 truth that is untaught (neglected) is as serious as error that is taught- especially that which is presently a pressing need (enemy approaching).

I could get real up about the good that this did me BUT 2 Jn. 9-11. Practically every preacher can give a decent lesson on some truth, so I heard him preach a good lesson once, doesn't address the problems.)
