I BELIEVE IN ESCAPISM

At this time when many don't believe in the rapture (resurrection) of the Church is the time to look up. At a time you think not, the Lord cometh.

I believe that the scoffers that shun the Word of God and laugh at the idea of escape make His coming that much sooner

I believe in escapism: "𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘮. /ɪˈ𝘴𝘬𝘦ɪ𝘱ɪ𝘻ə𝘮/ 𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯. 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘶𝘯𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘺." However, escape from judgment is not based on fantasy or is my way to cope with reality. The Bible is real and Jesus is coming again. My escapism is based on truth.

As Christians, I believe now more than ever is the time to prepare for our meeting with Jesus Christ. There are things we need to do:

1. Preach the Gospel

2. Teach the Word

3. Live as godly as we can.

I have a concept, it is not really that great, but nevertheless I'll share it: When a person is about to quit a job they should do their best work with memorable performance. Your lasting impression will be remembered.  

I know many of us are not the cream of the crop when it comes to our work for God, however, now would be the time to excel. A runner may be trailing but with consistent output and perseverance, he just might win the race and take home the trophy. Most runners will fail just as they come home to the last stretch. This is the time to pass our competitors, and finished ahead of the pack, and win the race.
