The mysterious presence of Jesus haunts the whole story of Acts. Jesus is announced as King and Lord, not as an increasingly distant memory but as a living and powerful reality, a person who can be known and loved, obeyed and followed, a person who continues to act within the real world. We call the book "The Acts of the Apostles," but we should think of it as "The Acts of Jesus (II)." These studies from Tom Wright help us to do so, and to see how Jesus' acts through the apostles inform our acts today.Voir livre

The theory of a pre-tribulation rapture is a very misleading and dangerous theory that will lead many away from God. People who are expecting this to happen to them will be bitterly disappointed in God when the tribulation finally begins, and they find themselves still here on the earth. In the book of 2 Thessalonians, we are warned that many will fall away, will turn away from God. I believe those who are expecting to be raptured, and are not, will be some of those who fall away. They will say God has broken His promise to them and failed to rapture them to Heaven when the troubles start. But God has never promised to rapture anyone before the tribulation starts. This is just the theory of man. Please consider the enormous number of people who have been murdered over the years for their trust and obedience to God. Then ask yourself why you are any better or more worthy than any of them? No one is worthy of anything from God. We are all sinners and all deserve the death penalty. It is only through the death of Jesus Christ that we have a hope for anything in the future. I believe the time of the tribulation could easily be during this year, 2023. If you are one of those who are hoping for the rapture to take you away from the troubles of this world, please remember this book. Remember, there are people who absolutely do not believe in this theory. This is a teaching from man, and certainly not something God has revealed in His bible. If you do believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, please remember there are many who do not. Turn to these people and seek the truth from them. While you are waiting to be raptured, keep the possibility that you are wrong in your mind, then when you fail to be raptured, repent and turn to God.Voir livre
