Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people AREN'T out to get you

The crazy prediction that on this Saturday at 6PM the rapture will occur flies in the face of what we know from scripture - that Jesus Himself said only the Father knows the when. He said to just be prepared, and it really won't matter when it happens.

There is plenty written on how this latest prediction, which follows hundreds over the century, feeds into the naysayers who believe CHristians are crazy. I suppose we are - to believe this will happen at all. Nonetheless, we do. And it will. There is nothing to say it will happen on the 21st at 6PM, but, the truth is, there is also nothing to say it won't.

The important thing is to be ready...to not be fooled by the foolish predictions, but to look hard into the face of reality; let the Holy Spirit affect your heart - take the invitation and surrender to the most gracious power in the universe - the God who saves those who ask.

It is simple, and then the "when" won't matter.

Be ready.

And have your church clothes ready for Sunday.
