For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and tempest
And the sound of the trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearer beg that not further messages be spoken to them. Indeed so terrifying was the sight that Moses said “I tremble with fear…”
But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem and to innumeral angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but the heavens.” “Yet once more” indicates the removal of things that are shaken, that is things that have not been made-in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, and let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire
Hebrews 12:18-29

Dear Jessica,
The book of Hebrews is wonderful isn’t it? Thanks for bringing it to my attention today. It is one of my favorite books in the Bible. We will be praying for you at your home church. We enjoyed your presentation Tues. at the Senior Adult meeting about your mission to Thailand. May God draw your heart to Him, so you may hear Him and what He wants you to do there. May it bring praise to Jesus.
Love,
Your friend in Christ,
Emily
