Book Cover & Preview Text
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition and get ready for war because time is running out. Prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes and some Christians don’t know or are afraid to accept the truth of God’s word. Many Christians and secular people are going to be surprised when things start happening. The question is who is correct about where the church is, and will be during and after the tribulation period? I understand there are three thoughts about the Tribulation period and the church. Some say the church will be called out before the tribulation (called pre-tribulation.). Others say the church will go through half of the seven years of tribulation (called mid. tribulation.). And still others say the church will go through all seven years of the tribulation (called post tribulation.). Who is right? There have been many Christian authors write about all three. There are others who will say none of these are right and give their rendition of how it will happen. I suggest you start studying and putting things into context, God will show you. I thought I might share some thoughts about the subject, but changed my mind, so I will be writing about other subjects that have concerned me over the years. Most of what you will read in this book comes from seventy years of exposure to four different churches with similar doctrines.
In 1997 God started dealing with me through His Holy Spirit about certain scriptures that I’ve had a difficult time with over the years. These particular scripture interpretations were taught to me by Pentecostal ministers and teachers. I attended only Pentecostal churches from my childhood and was indoctrinated into believing what was being taught and how these scriptures were being interpreted by most Pentecostals. I was always taught that the Pentecostal way of believing was the true way. I shared this belief with many people over the years believing it was the truth. Over the years it bothered my spirit because of what I observed happening in the church didn’t always match the scriptures. How could all other denominations be wrong in their interpretations and the Pentecostals be right?

About the Book
Most of what you will read in this book comes from seventy years of exposure to different churches, how they are operated, how the pastors are different in their interpretation of God’s Word, and how politics and intellectuals sometimes have corrupted the body of Christ. This book is being written because God has given me answers to questions I’ve had for many years. I finally resolved to the fact that God talks to all born-again Christians, not just a few, as some would like you to believe. We all have the same opportunity to come before Him with our questions and concerns. When discussing His Word with biblical scholars, some of the answers I receive never seem to match what I read and understand about God’s Word.
Another reason for writing this book is because I want to know and share the truth. God is showing me through His Holy Spirit that the church is failing to tell the whole truth. Have you ever stopped and thought of all the different denominations and variations of each there are in the United States and asked yourself, are we winning or losing the battle?
