The Post-Pandemic Church

Michael Fenton-Jones says in his foreword: “This book, as its title makes clear, is for the church. It reminds the church of God’s everlasting love for His creation, and of His faithfulness, justice and judgment, demonstrated throughout the ages. It carries a clarion call to action. Whilst not mentioning the ten virgins (Matt. 25.1), it could well have done so, for it is a wake-up call to The Bride – the Church – who should be preparing herself for an imminent return of the Bridegroom. Five virgins had prepared, with oil in their lamps, as they went to meet the bridegroom, but five had none and their lamps went out, resulting in the Lord’s devastating response to their cries: ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ The Lord went on to say: ‘Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming’ (Matthew 25: 12-13).”
