Unfortunately, because much of main stream Christianity is currently in crisis, and dealing with so many different winds of doctrine, many pastors have now settled with a generic com- promise. "The GRACE that PLEASES ALL." Today's modern day salvation message of hope, love, unity, forgiveness and prosperity, has fallen into a tragic state of apostasy as we see well known mega church pastors eliminating scriptures such as John 14:1-7. Jesus teaches in John 14:1-7 two essential things. First, He says, "Let not your hearts be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:1-3 NKJV). Secondly, Thomas asks Jesus a very important question. "Lord, how do we know the WAY? Jesus answered his question by saying, "I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." The answer that Jesus gave has been shaking religions around the world for 2000 years. Sad to say, both the end time message of the Soon Coming of our Lord, John 14:1-3, and His statement saying that He is the only Way, the Truth and the Life, John 14:6-7, are again being eliminated from behind popular Christian pulpits today. It appears that many are jumping on board with the one world ecumenical movement, espe- cially within the denominations. "All roads lead to God " (Robert Schuler's, Crystal Cathedral-live interview with Billy Gram (very interesting). Also, Pastor Walrand- Baptist church, 10,000 members, "To think that Jesus is the only way to heaven is insanity"). Many within his congregation gave him a round of applause. The apostle Paul explains that the coming of our Lord, and our being gathered to Him will not happen until much of the the main stream church loses its saltiness (Matt 5:13, Heb 6:4-6, 2 Pet 2:20-21). "Let no one deceive or beguile you in anyway, for that day will not come except the APOSTSY comes first, that is, unless the PREDICTED great FALLING AWAY of those who profess to be Christian's has come" (2 Thess 2:1-12 AMP). Defenders of the faith are now rising up and are starting to take a strong Biblical, "John the Baptist" stand for the Way the Truth and the Life (Eph 5:8-12, Jude 3-4). A few years back, pastors were concerned about church growth, trying to figure out how they could start to get the unsaved world into the church to fill up the empty pews. They determined that if they preached on the good old fash- ioned "hell fire and brim stone," no one would come. It appears that their plan was, and still is work- ing. Since then, many have com- pletely stopped preaching on the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the signs of the times. They don't want to mention the news reports that volcanic activity is rising all around the world, espe- cially around the RING of FIRE! The Hawaii volcano is so hot, it is pouring out lava at a rate of 6 football fields per hour. Reports show that if it blows, it will send a tsunami that will devastate California. It could also trigger the Cascadia and San Andreas fault lines. The Sakurajima volcano in Japan (ABC News) and the volcano in Guatamala have both erupted within the past month. Experts are not sure if the already damaged nuclear reactors in Japan can take the heat. A new volcano erupts with a strong explosion in Nicaragua 6-21-18. The apostle Peter teaches in 2 Peter Ch's 2 and 3 that we all need to be stimulated to wholesome thinking. He clearly illustrates that the END TIME message of the Soon Coming of our Lord is essential for Godly Christian growth. Why? Many who claim to be Christians are being more conformed to the patterns of this world instead of coming out from among it. Sad but true, those who claim to be God's super apostles are teaching that it really doesn't mat- ter when Jesus comes, "we will all go anyway." Ya right! (Matt 7:21, 25:1-13, 2 Pet 2:1-3, Jude 3-4). However, what does Jesus have to say through the apostle Peter? "First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, 'Where is the coming He promised?
