Will No One Know? Book and Order Info

Jesus and his disciples went around telling the truth that exposed the hypocrisy and corruption of the religious authorities. And, I'm here to tell you that they still go around doing just that!

On the back cover of this provocative book you'll find this statement: "Along the way, with the Lord's help, you will grasp the reason why the trusted authorities in the church get it so wrong."

What they get wrong is the claim that no one will know in advance when Jesus is coming. That lie is laid bare as I easily blow up their case. The message that some will know is clear and the stark difference between those who will and won't know is a real wake-up call for those who dare to take an unblinking look. Once the truth is seen and the lie exposed, we have to come to terms with some things. How could we have been so easily deceived? When all the authorities agree, it's a very compelling narrative that few would think to argue against. We have to come to a place where we humbly admit to ourselves that we are not as discerning as we should be. We have to repent of our willingness to be deceived and get fierce about staking ourselves to The Truth.

When you come around to having to ask the awkward question about who is to blame for the lie, we can point to Satan as an easy target, but we have to get beyond that. What we really need to get hold of has been right in front of us.

But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

Matthew 24:43

It's right there. If you don't get it, read the book. You need to know why the trusted authorities in the church get it so wrong so you can take the next steps.

About the Author

Bob Schlenker is a hopeful candidate for the Bride of Christ.

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 3:14-21
