I don’t find much that is appealing about Calvinism, and I think it is our duty to change the way the world is going.

I'm not talking about Calvinism, I am talking about a pre-ordained future that is spoken of throughout the Scriptures.

My life may not be predestined because I have free will, but the worlds destiny is written in stone, and we cannot change it.

We do have a responsibility to bring help in the harvest of those who are susceptible to the Gospel. In my day to day living I do what is right, yet IO do not walk in front of a truck just because I know heaven is in my future.

However, as I said I do not worship the crops God gave us to utilize in our day to day lives. That does not mean I sh*# where I eat either.

I also understand that it is my duty to prepare for the future as if it the end will come long after I am dead, but I also need to realize that like a thief in the night He could return at any moment.

All this while I realize I can not change the way God is directing the end to come. Fine line I know, but it is the line we as Christians must walk in order to stay sane.
