  Does Jesus Care Whether I Attend Church?

  Will You Be Naked on Judgment Day?

  Most people in our society would feel embarrassed if they were forced to walk around their community naked. But what if you had no choice on the matter the day you go before God to be judged? What if you were naked before Him....not physically necessarily, but worse....spiritually naked before your Creator, without any covering for your sins against Him?
