First things first, I am realizing that we do not have much to blog about yet, but I will do my best to find things to write about. With that said, I have just started reading the Left Behind Series. For a while now I have wanted to read them, having always been interested in the End Times and what will happen on the Earth once Christ raptures his flock. Not that it matters too much to us as Christians because we will not be here, but it still interests me greatly to know what God has in store for those that are left behind. So far the first book is great. I have seen the two movies that were made about the books, and they are not too far off. There is a lot of opinions where the Bible doesn't make things clear, like how everything will happen and so on and so forth, but I think it makes it more real to hear it in a storyline we as people can relate to.
It has made me think about things lately. If we as followers of Christ were raptured today, or tomorrow, how many people that I know that are close to me would be left behind? People that I care about and love so much would be here to endure the tribulation. While this might be their fault,that they did not repent when they should have, I can't help but feel sombered by the thought, "Can I do more?" "Should I say more?" Some of the people that matter most to me may not be saved. I know their salvation is not on my shoulders, and that God himself saves, and not us at all, but having said that, I am also called to be a whitness, to be sharing the gospel and to be making disciples of Christ. Am I using all I have to serve Him and to further His kingdom? Or could I be raptured tomorrow, leaving them behind, when they could have been serving Christ?
