The rapture will not be secret but open and manifest. Its purpose will not be to whisk the elect away from the earth for a while until Christ returns for a 'second' Second Coming. The purpose of the rapture is to allow the saints to meet Jesus in the air as He returns and be included in His entourage during His triumphal descent from Heaven. His coming in this manner will be attended by the general resurrection, the final judgment, and the end of the world.

To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.

For a Christian to be a Christian, he must first be a sinner. Being a sinner is a prerequisite for being a church member. The Christian church is one of the few organizations in the world that requires a public acknowledgement of sin as a condition for membership.

When God says something, the argument is over.

One might pray and not be a Christian, but one cannot be a Christian and not pray.

Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.

Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.
