Book Cover & Preview Text
I hope you enjoy reading this work and I pray that it will be enlightening to your understanding and uplifting to your spirit. We are living in the last days. Christians have the truth. For the sake of our children and their children until the Lord Jesus Christ comes back, we must bear the torch of bringing truth to a world lost in sin. Many years ago when my mother was still on earth, I had not been called to preach long when I told her that God picked a bad time in history to call me to preach. I thought it would have been really nice for the Lord to call me to preach in a time of great and fiery revival. My mother looked at me with a wisdom I didn’t know she possessed and told me that God called me to preach at the perfect time. I never forgot that lesson from my mother. Souls are falling into hell every second. Wickedness is getting worse every minute. Darkness is encroaching upon the land like the sunset at the end of a long day. The thunder of coming storms can be heard on the horizon of time; but there is good news. Jesus is coming soon. It will not be long before we stand on the great crystal sea of glass and lift our voice in a new song. It will not be long before we walk beside the river of life and under the shade of the tree of life. I can almost hear the call from our beloved. The table is set and all things are ready. Like the song says are you listening for the call to supper time? One of the prettiest pictures of the rapture is found in The Song Of Solomon.
Song of Sol. 2:9; My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice. :10 My beloved spoke, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. :11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; :12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; :13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. :14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
Listen, is that the sound of a trumpet I hear. Can the voice of the Arch Angel be far behind? Do you know what it means to be hidden in the cleft of the rock? It is not a time to hide our lamp inside a building as those who are fearful.
Mat 5:16; Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.

About the Book
Churches the world over are claiming to embrace Christianity while they embrace the world with a consuming passion. Biblical wickedness is at astounding levels and being embraced by the professing church. A religion which denies that Jesus is the Christ is rising on the world scene like a raging inferno. The cries of our slain unborn are crying out to God like the blood of righteous Able. Armies are massing around the borders of
I hope you get the blessing and exhortation in Christ that is the driving force behind this book. It was my fingers that typed but it is Gods burden, The Holy Ghost guidance and the Lord Jesus Christ love that compelled me to write. May God bless you abundantly in the Spirit of Christ as you read.
In Christ wonderful and everlasting service,

About the Author
I am an ordained minister of the Lord Jesus Christ and have been in the ministry for the last twenty three years. I was saved on the morning of January 17th, 1982 in Trinity Baptist Church in Asheville NC. The story of how God convicted me of my sins and brought me to the point of accepting Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior is a worthy story in itself but I will not go into that here. I began my ministry by going to nursing homes and preaching on the street at the bus turnaround in Asheville. God let me see many souls saved. I went from there to jails and prisons ministering the Gospel.
I consider myself extremely blessed. God has allowed me to be instrumental in starting a successful church here in North Carolina. I have served as choir director, associate pastor and as pastor. I received a Masters in Theology from a “Through the mail” college while pasturing. I could not walk across the stage and receive my diploma because I was preaching a funeral when the ceremony was taking place. That has never been important to me anyway. My desire is to see souls saved and lives rescued. My entire ministry has not been successful. I have failed God more times than I care to remember but I thank God that he will not let go of his own. I have had to learn the hard way I suppose that not only is the power to save in the hands of God who is so capable but the responsibility to keep is also in his loving hands. I think that is enough about me. Let me tell you about this book.
I see people struggling with peer pressure and societies soul grinding guilt to live pleasing to the world. I want to be an example in a generation where so many are departing from the faith. I want to be a Christian even before being a minister that people can look at and see Jesus Christ in me in the midst of a sinful generation. I want to be faithful when Jesus calls his church. I want my lamp trimmed and filled with lots of fuel. Too many times we hide the light of Christ in the church where the light can only be seen by those in the Church. May God help us to be filled with his Holy Spirit and be a light before a lost and dying world? May God grant us to use the godly talents and gifts we have in a time when using these talents and gifts are not popular? The books stores are full of books explaining about the Great Tribulation. It is not what is going to happen after the rapture that is important to me. It is what is happening now in these last days.
