I’m curious to what your background is, if you don’t mind my inquiry.
I recently resumed attending church regularly after sliding for the past 10 years and began because I feel the Lord speaking to my heart and because I believe the ‘time’ is at hand.
Currently, Dr. David Jeremiah (from Shadow Mountain Community Church, San Diego) is running a series on Revelation...a verse by verse study. It just started last week for anyone interested.
Anyway, I don’t mean to jump in but I’ve seen this blog before and just wondered what type of background you have.
Jump right in!! the waters warm!!
That’s funny that you mentioned David Jeremiah... the Lord used that man and some others and that series “Escape the Coming Night” as a catalyst to bring me to Christ! (in 1992) also to get me fired up about the coming of Christ. It wasn’t until I read his book that I saw that Christ was indeed coming back etc...
As a matter of fact as a Catholic I never once heard or was taught that teaching of Christ second coming even though we repeated unconsciously in the mass... Christ has died, Christ has risen...Christ will come again... or in the Apostles creed “He will come again in Glory to Judge the Living and the dead.
I just decided to let God and His Word be my only source of info on what Christianity etc.. I have spent countless hours studying God’s wonderful Word and He has truly blessed my heart.. I’ve been saved since 1991 ish..
David is some what new evangelical...but he is right on... and I like him... Go and learn and be a servant of Christ, for His glory.. If I can be of any help feel free to contact me via FR email or The Ignorant fishermen email.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!!
