Fire in My Bones
Prophecy - Signs

Most everyone I meet at church or work tends to not get as excited about the Rapture and other end-times events as I do. For that matter, apologetics and end-times prophecy as a whole are not the most popular subjects of our day.

I think the main reason is that it hits too close to home. People don’t want to think about the world they’ve come to know and love, is actually in its death throes. Most well-meaning people want to be pampered these days with kind, sweet sermons and feel-good theology. They want to be told that God is just itching to bless them financially and physically. They’re told that true spiritual growth is based on emotional experiences, not in studying their dusty Bibles.

The growing trend within Christendom today is to have large, theatrical styled church services. The focus is on making the attendee feel, rather than know. The sheer number of these churches and the amount of money they generate do not lie. The problem in this, is that these seeker –friendly, purpose-driven churches thrive on making the experience of the attendee, memorable and enjoyable, regardless of what they actually walk away knowing

Very glad we have a place here to do Bible study.

Feelings rather than faith = works rather than grace = basing spirituality on self rather than God.

Thanks for posting Dusty.
