What is your opinion? Do you think this is Bible?

Also, I teach very little about the end times. In fact, I'm finishing up a 3 week series on the end times tomorrow, which is the first time I've done it since '04. I major on godly living NOW, not on what may or may not happen according to someone's end time "clock." IMO, it's majoring on the minors. The most important thing is living for Him and being ready for His coming; not being able to score an "A" in eschatology.

Actually, I don't have any confusion about the end times in the church I pastor. I try to put things into perspective and major on the Christ-like life. With Jesus in the center, the rest of the issues aren't "fought" about. Discussed? Yes. Fought over? No.

Whats wrong with preaching godly living now and doing so with a view toward his second coming? I preach both. Jesus certainly did not think his words were "majoring on minors". All his words are more important than all of anyone elses.

I dont enjoy "fighting over" issues myself. Thats why I cannot in good conscience commit to a group that I believe is teaching error. I would always be a thorn in their side. Either that or I would have to just be silent and pretend the words of Jesus are "minors".
