                     idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a
                     swindler. With such a man do not even eat.
                     (1 Corinthians 5:11)
                     But among you there must not be even a hint
                     of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impu-
                     rity, or of greed, because these are improper
                     for God's holy people… Let no one deceive
                     you with empty words, for because of such
                     things God's wrath comes on those who are
                     disobedient. Therefore, do not be partners
                     with them. (Ephesians 5:3, 6-7)


                 ONE DAY IN ALLAH'S PRESENCE

                 IS LIKE ONE THOUSAND YEARS
                                FOR US

                     They ask you to hasten the punish-
                     ment. Allah will not break His
                     promise. A day with your Lord is
                     equivalent to a thousand years in the
                     way you count. (Surat al-Hajj, 47)


                     Gospel

                     ... With the Lord, a day is like a thousand
                     years and a thousand years are like a day. The
                     Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as
                     some understand slowness. He is patient
                     with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but
                     everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:8-
                     9)
