How do we live as we wait Christ’s return?
I attended a Bible study recently where we looked at Matthew 24 and the end times. Most present subscribed to the pre-tribulation rapture position. I sensed quiet relief in their voices given they believe no Christian will have to endure the great tribulation. But no one commented on the possible times of harsh suffering and persecution American believers could face in the future.
