Question 20 - What must we do?
II Thessalonians 1:7-9
"He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well.  This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.  He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.  They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power on the day he comes to be gloried in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed."

I can't remember where I saw this idea.
But, it stuck in my head since it looked so easy.
I used simple black frames, 
pumpkin print card stock, 
and letters cut out of black card stock to spell f-a-l-l.
