against their mate, and think little of it. They are like the woman
in Proverbs, who also commits adultery against her mate, wipes her
mouth, and says, “I have done nothing wrong!” Adultery in the
Bible is often linked under the heading of </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">fornication</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">,

type</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
of sexual sin. Often such practicers feel they are spiritually
superior to others, according to </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">their</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
standards. But the Lord through Bible writers says - “As I have
told you before, so I tell you again - they who do such things
(habitually, and without conviction) shall </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">not</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

major theme of 1 & 2 Thessalonians, linking up with the Feast of
Tabernacles. I like to use this portion of Scripture at funerals.

in an unseemly, worldly way. And will we know one another over there?
Indeed we will. Agnes Springer wrote a book years ago entitled “Intra
Muros”, (Within the Walls). It has been reprinted under a new
title, “Within Heaven's Gates”, and answers two questions
specifically - we </span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><u><span style="">shall</span></u></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

What starts out down here is but a continuation over there. We give
out this book to those who have recently lost a loved one, and they
again and again confirm what a comfort they received through this
book. - J.A.W.</span></span></font></p>
