How Do a Majority of Pastors Feel About Current Events?

The following article was referenced in a recent sermon at a local church and I thought you might find it interesting.  Actually, in reading through the article I was rather surprised to learn that 56% of those interviewed said they believe that Jesus Christ will return to Earth during their lifetime – then why aren’t more pastors talking about eschatology and biblical prophecy of the End Times? If you are a pastor and your life’s calling is to share the good news and salvation of Jesus Christ with as many people as will listen (so that they might make a decision to accept his forgiveness and eternal life), why wouldn’t you want to reach them before time runs out? Why wouldn’t you want to share the urgency of our day and reach them before these signs begin to wash over the world like a tidal wave?

For me, the knowledge of these things helps me to feel more secure in my faith when I read the news every day. It calms me to know that God’s word has told us in advance what the world is going to look like, what kinds of things will be going on, and what is still to come. It helps to prepare me for the deception washing over every aspect of our world.  It tells me that God is sovereign and in control, and I know how the story will end.  If your pastor is not teaching you what the Bible says about such things, then perhaps it’s time to find another church.
