A WARNING ABOUT INFORMATION OVERLOAD especially during THE TIME OF THE END? Now with too much information and much of it useless and unnecessary bombarding the minds of men…men are wearied from just flipping and searching from the myriads of infos which of them are relevant and necessary.

“… be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.”Ecclesiastes 12:12.

… even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.Daniel 12:4.

The safe way is to stick with Jesus and the Holy Scriptures, so we may be able to slice through the chaos of infos toward the truth!

“said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;nd ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”.John 8:31-32.

Jesus said:”Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. John 17:17.
