No one is coming to save you before the return of Christ, so work hard, be responsible and make something beautiful of your life.
Without realizing it, many Christians have begun to view the return of Christ as an escape plan God never meant it to be. In the meantime, they’re living far below their potential, hindering their influence and missing out on God’s best. Is that you?
Regardless of what you believe about the rapture of Christians, the return of Jesus Christ is something every true believer anticipates. But there are unhealthy views that can creep in as we wait for Christ’s return—and they will sabotage our productivity, happiness and influence.
Are you a role-model others can, and should, follow?
What if people embraced your work ethic, your passion, your commitment and your approach to life? Would the world be a better place, or would it be found lacking?
Right now is the time of your life. Isn’t it time to give it your all, while you still have time?
Catch the companion episode and go deeper! Episode 27 of the Courageous Nation podcast is called Stop Using the Rapture as an Excuse for Taking Action on the Charisma Podcast Network. It will help you get focused, motivated and productive. {eoa}
