If you think God has a message through you or God has a mission for you to go on, pay close attention to the things I've said.

If you go against these things, it just proves the message or mission you claim to have isn't from God. Sorry, Charlie.

And not just that, we'd be guilty of lying about God because we've told everyone it was God who raised him back to life. If God doesn't raise us up after we die, then he didn't raise Christ up either.

That's when everything as we know it will end. The prescribed burn will destroy all earthly rulers, governments, and powers. Then, Jesus is going to give the keys of the ranch to God the Father.

Like the Good Book says, "God has given him control over everything." When it says "everything" is under his control, it goes without saying that Jesus does not control God. God is the one giving Jesus the authority.

When Jesus has conquered everything, he is going to turn around and hand everything over to God so that God will be the one and only ruler.

Get back in the middle of your saddle and get both feet in the stirrups. You need to think right and quit all that sinning you know is wrong. Some of you don't even know who God is because you'd rather live a life of sin rather than one that's eternal. And to that, it's your own fault and you'll get what you deserve.

God gives each seed the body he wants to see.

Let me make this clear, cowboys. Our physical bodies can't inherit the kingdom of God. These bodies have to die so that we can have bodies that can last forever.

It'll happen in a split-second. When the last trumpet sounds, we cowboys will be changed. Those who rode for God and died will be raised to new life and live forever.

But we are thankful God has already given us victory and power through our Lord Jesus Christ!

If God wills it, I will even accompany them there.

I hope to stay with y'all for a while, maybe all winter. Then y'all can help me on my trip, wherever God decides to send me.

I wish I could come now, but then I wouldn't be able to stay long as I've got other things to do. I want to get them out of the way so I can stay with y'all longer if God says it's okay.

Timothy might be stopping by soon. Make him feel at home because he's working for God as hard as I am.

Howdy, boys! It's me, Paul. I'm one of the cowboys God chose to lead this gathering because I reckon it's what he wanted. Timothy says howdy, also.I'm writing to the big gatherin' of cowboys and cowgirls who make up the church in Corinth as well as all those scattered throughout Achaia taking the outside for God.

If there's praise to be doled out, let us praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God shows us more mercy than we deserve, and comforts us in the hard times.

If times are hard on us, it means you're being saved and comforted. If God comforts us, it is so we can pass it along to you. That way, you know you aren't alone when you go through the mesquite and suffer as we do.

We have high hopes for y'all. We want y'all to share in the suffering because if you share in the suffering, you'll get to share in the comfort that can only come from God himself.

We truly felt like God was preparing us for death. It was that bad. But God had another plan. He let us suffer that bad to show us how often we depended on our own strength instead of his. He raises the dead and sometimes we couldn't even raise our heads.
