Life Quote by Paul Ellis
““How do we get ready? Not by cloistering ourselves in a monastery, for the ready men and women in Matthew 24:40–42 are working in the fields and grinding in the mill. They are participating in life and providing for their families. Their readiness does not require them to withdraw from society. Being ready means being prepared. It’s having a positive answer to the following question: If Jesus came back today, would you be happy to see him? Perhaps””
