Quick every wise virgin who hears the Word of the Lord..

Get the oil for your lamps and be ready for the groom.

Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Exodus 27:20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.

Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Colleen, your mention of scoffers prompts me to tell you that Robert Barry has returned from under his rock to pester Christians on the "Ask God" thread. It appeared that he was out of the picture for some time, but I forgot that a bad penny always turns back up. I know, as a coffee shopper, you can not respond but, thought you might want to monitor that thread some time.
