Whether Those Things Were So

If you have followed this podcast for some time, you might detect some discrepancies. And you would be right. I’m not what many would call a seasoned Christian. My journey as a Christian has been but a few short years. Perhaps my life was preparing me for the journey, only God can say, because when I finally embarked on this journey, it was what many would describe as fervent, zealous - even fanatical if you ask some.

I have a “four to eight” program (Go to bed at 4 PM, get up at 4 AM, study until 8 AM, and then start the workday) that allowed me to study deeply without encroaching on my already hectic business life. Though some days, I’d break those rules and consume the whole day studying biblical concepts and passages. I couldn’t put it down, and I still can’t. I’ve read more in the past 4 years than I did in the prior 40. And what I love the most is that I’ve barely scratched the surface. And what I regret the most is that I did not discover this sooner!

That said, today I landed on a video from Jack Hibbs. Jack is one of the online pastors that I like a lot but on the subject of Rapture, I’ve come to disagree with. Truth be told, if I ignored every online resource that believed in something I didn’t believe in, then the landscape of online resources would diminish quickly. The point is not to argue with Jack about this particular topic, though I certainly do that in the source material I’ve included. The point is that there are some things in the church that it’s OK to disagree on. There are some things that you absolutely must agree on, and the correct posture is to know the difference.
