ignorance

The above image conveys three exceedingly important ideas, namely:

1. IGNORANCE -- is a fact of life.  What does God have to say about that?
2. Do we have a "right" to remain ignorant?
3. Ignorance is not always due to lack of opportunity to learn but, oftentimes, it is the result of willful choice.

the ten virgins

I want to briefly examine the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13).  For, that parable is especially relevant to the time in which we are now living.  Its meaning is vitally important to understand, as it essentially entails a severe warning to all professing Christians.  And though the lessons of that parable are not at all difficult to interpret or to comprehend, nevertheless, there remains--among Christians themselves, evidently, a great deal of ignorance and confusion concerning the meaning of that parable.
