For months a certain radio preacher broadcast that the “rapture” would take place on May 21st. When that didn’t happen, he explained that what actually occurred on that date was the “beginning of events that will culminate in the destruction of the earth on October 21st”.

Since much of the world looks at this kind of prediction with disdain and ridicule, how should we as believers respond to a world that is becoming more and more skeptical and hostile to biblical Christianity?

We know that Jesus IS going to return. However, what can we do in the meantime to share with our friends and relatives that “today is the day of salvation”, and that we need to be ready for Christ’s return?

As the Apostle Paul admonishes us, “Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.” (Col.4:5-6)
