There are certainly parts of end-time Biblical prophecy that we, as Christians, should NOT be working to make happen. The prophecies are provided as markers to let us know what time it is and as signs to the authenticity of the Truth. Our task is the Great Commission. "this Harvest today" is the unchanging reaping of lost souls for Christ. Certainly, all would agree that someone who goes to his doctor and finds out he has only a couple months to live should not use this information as an opportunity to run up a huge debt that will never be repaid, at his creditors' expense. Duane is right that this applies to stewardship of the earth, not just financial considerations. That said, we should work as if Christ is returning tonight; not as if he will return in the way distant future. -D Perich

As good stewards of this earth.. we must work to clean our enviroment, and prepare for the future. We are to work hard for this Harvest today.. Allow me "Please" to warn you of those who would use end-time teaching to shape US governmental policy. Doing so.. is a very close act to the conjering of an desired outcome and is not the purpose of Holy Scripture. Feel free to disagree, but there should be a seperation of Church and State for the good of all the people. Our nation is ment to evolve and change with times, just as the LAW evolves and expresses the desires of a free people. -=A=- _______________________________________________ The Golden Rule is my daily rule.
