Behold, I am coming soon, Jesus tells us in the last chapter of the Book of Revelation. The apostle John shares messages about Jesus' second coming in this book, reassuring us that nothing can prevail against God's church. He urges us to hold on to Jesus.

He's one of the authors of the Advent devotional book entitled Behold I Am Coming Soon!, and he's pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Lake Mills, Wisconsin.

Jesus said, "Go then to all people everywhere and make them my disciples. Baptize them and teach them to obey all I commanded you, and I will be with you always, even unto the end of the age. How can we learn to share our faith in Christ with our community?

God's plan is for families to tell the next generation about the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord. In the Old Testament we read, "And these words which I'm commanding you today shall be on your heart and you shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. God tells us not to conceal his great and mightly acts from our children, but to tell the generations to come the praises of the Lord, His strength, and His wonderous works that He has done. How do we share God's love with our children? Why should we go first into the home? Join us today as I interview Rev. Gregory Seltz and his wife Marie Yvette Seltz. Our topic is Go First Into the Home.
