Evangelicals are not preoccupied with signs of the second coming. A very general statement intended to smear them.

Some are rooted in reading certain Scriptures in isolation from the wider context of the whole of Scripture. And some are rooted in reading one text and disregarding others that balance it.

A Catholic wrote this ... and the irony is just oozing ...

There’s a lot of generalizations and presumptions in this article.

It’s interesting, because this world is coming apart at the seams and he’s talking about *balance*.

Personally, while Jesus told us to be aware of the signs of the times, ultimately what is most important is not when but how prepared we are to face God.

“Evangelicals are not preoccupied with signs of the second coming.”

Some are.

Evangelicals are not preoccupied with signs of the second coming. A very general statement intended to smear them.

a number of years ago after i left evangelical Protestantism, I was involved with the Catholic Charismatic movement.

I think I can say from experience that both groups are equally "preoccupied."

This is not a bad thing. I would also say that perhaps the evangelicals are a bit more vocal about their beliefs. again not a bad thing.

I also don't think I would have chosen the word "preoccupied." I think two better words might be either "focused" or even "intent".

Again this is not a bad thing unless it takes over your life to the point that you ignore other responsibilities.
