September 24, 2020 // 21 Comments

Judging by the number of books written on the subject, we ought to be able to predict Christ’s return down to the minute, but the fact is nobody knows the hour or day.

And so another year kicks off with a certain Christian magazines/websites making gloomy predictions about these last days.

When trouble comes, you have two choices: fight or flight. Fleeing is the underrated choice. In these days of belligerence and bullying, the temptation is to fight or die.
