At lunch today I, Hubbie, took a look at the Bible and at the mainstream headlines. 

Keep in mind that every one of the below headlines is on the front page of the DrudgeReport today (05/13/08).  

Check out Matthew 24:3-14, watch out for verse 9 (also see Mark 13:5-13).  I personally think the earth's birth pains are at hand.  For those who believe in a pretrib rapture, and I am not saying I do or don't because I have found evidence for each of the most popular beliefs on when the rapture will take place, but ponder one question...  would God rapture the church and remove the salt at the most critical time?  Over time the Roman Christians would not say so, they could probably be quoted as saying "lions, and tigers and bears...  oh my!" What about the Chinese Christians who are praying that persecution will come to America's Christians to make us wake up.

Lord come quickly... what am I doing to drag someone with me?

You can add this to the blog if you want to...   KjS.  (Yes!!)

1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 (even better, read the whole chapter)  I think Jesus is telling us not to fear the coming events, but we ought to study what He is saying so we will be less anxious.  FYI...  if you are reading this and don't have a relationship with Jesus, it is tough to understand a love letter if you don't have a relationship with the sender.  If you would like to find out how to know Jesus personally leave a comment that I can get back to you.

1Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
 4But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.
