"Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence" (Luke 16:26).

MESSAGE OVERVIEW

We live in a great day. There are many things in this day that are great, either for good or for bad. For instance, we read of great building programs; but on the other hand, we read of great destruction going on. We also read of great harvests; and in other parts of the world there are great famines. There are also great endeavors to bring about peace; but on the other hand, there are great evidences of violence. The Word of God also presents two sides of greatness, and there is a great impassable gulf between them.
