ABSOLUTELY, ViaVeritas!! You hit the "ugly" nail on its apostate head! We are truly in the "Laodicean" church period mentioned in Revelations and you know what Jesus told the Apostle John about His response to that "lukewarm" body of professing believers. The strongest Christian churches are those in CHINA and MUSLIM countries where they meet in SECRET in bunkers and abandoned buildings and where Bibles are very, very revered and scarce. We are FAT, APOSTATE AND PATHETIC in Western countries. We will undergo persecution by China, Muslims and perhaps Russia in the next 7 years. Most of my friends from my non-denominational background believe we will be "raptured" before the Great Tribulation begins - because they "misinterpret" portions of Scripture. I believe the term "rapture" was coined in the 19th century by an evangelical pastor/theologian--it is NOT mentioned in the Bible at all!!
Trim your 'lamps', friends!! The Brideroom is coming and we must be ready to "greet" Him!!

Very nice parting shot, Sharon. Thanks for taking time to take my comment further. I have myself been thinking a lot about that very admonition.
