Rapture Ready Preachers and Teachers

                                
All true followers of Jesus Christ should have the glorious hope of our Lord’s return (Titus 2: 13, 14). But I do have a major problem with most, if not all, of these “Rapture Ready” preachers and teachers. They get people all excited, mostly in the flesh, about being caught up and away, but they are not creating true godly zeal for becoming part of the glorious Church (Ephesians 5:27) that is unified in true faith (Ephesians 4:13) and being victorious over the gates of hell here on earth (Matthew 16:18). In essence, they are not really preparing the saints for the Lord’s return.

Actually, most of these preachers and teachers don’t have a clue about what I mean. Who among the preachers, teachers, and their listeners will wake up? There are too many on the team who are not in the game, at least not in the game that really counts. I hope I have stirred the pot! But many can’t or won’t break free from this overemphasis on tribulation and rapture ready preaching and teaching that excludes real preparation for the Lord's return. Therefore, they can’t even recognize the real game. They are spiritually addicted! But there are a few who are waking up. There is a modern day “Gideon’s 300” coming forth. So just relax, keep doing your thing, and they will win the battle for you. But guess who will get most if not all of the rewards when the Lord does return for His people.
