"Don't read the Bible with one hand while watching the news. We don't know the day or the hour, but even if this is not "The Big One" (which since I haven't seen the AntiChrist yet, I suspect it is not) things can get very ugly very fast."
You're right, and I'm not doing that. It just looks to me that everything is going in the direction that prophecy said it would. I heard someone once say--Don't keep yourself so heavenly-minded that you can't get your head out of the clouds.

Remember something. It is evil men with ambitions of power who make bad choices. Revelations says that God steps in to ruin those ruining the earth. I pay attention as Christ admonished but we do indeed live a physical world. Live your life in faith not in fear.
The message of the bible is a guidebook for better living and understanding why certain things will happen. Make God about relationship, not about religion.
It seems to me much of Christian religions are either about fiery judgment or people who think they are holy and judge others. In reality, the bible teaches loving your neighbor as yourself, not hurting yourself through bad choices and not hurting others. Read it cover to cover and you'll see things in a totally different light when it comes to reality versus man-made religion. This isn't the place for a sermon, but I love the plan of God to increase wisdom and intelligence in these end times. We're promised that God will wipe every tear from our eyes in Revelations and death will be no more. Look at science and technology. We're fast approaching the fulfillment of this promise.
