“We pick at and attack each other, usually through gossip or backstabbing. Many who claim to follow Jesus have, in reality, turned away from Him. There are false teachers in churches, even churches that are trying to preach the truth. We tolerate and accept sin rather than taking a loving stand against it. Most notably, the love that Jesus said would characterize His followers is absent in many Christians and churches.”

But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
