"re:  Kendra's letter"


Hi Kendra!   Per your letter:   http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2008/kendrar514.htm
 
I think as long as our hearts are "beating for Jesus" and we're ABIDING IN THE VINE (love Him enough to obey/follow Him at all costs!)  then we're all set for the rapture ~ even so, Scripture does say we ARE to watch & pray always to be counted worthy to escape...... so I don't at all have a problem doing that -- but just don't let fear grip you!!
 
Remember "who" fear comes from!!   It is NOT of God!    [a "healthy fear" of God is a good thing = respect/honor for WHO HE IS].... but fear of what man or the enemy can do to us, or fear of the unknown is not of God:
 
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
 
 
Anyway, also be assured that your sweet 2 1/2 y/o son will not be left behind to fend for himself!!  I cannot see any very young child ~ as long as s/he is a child of a Christian parent, being left behind.   {Various theories abound as to whether ALL children be raptured; or only the ones of Christian parents & I've read convincing arguments both ways, though I tend to lean on the side that all very young children will be raptured.   However, I'm not so sure about those "still in the womb".}
 
At any rate, I don't want to merely form an opinion, without it being BIBLICALLY BASED!!  So, here you go:
 
Joel 2:16
Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room.
 
Hope to see you & your son VERY SOON!!   :)

Titus 2
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
The rapture is a blessed hope to the Christian. Watching for and expecting the rapture is a blessed hope that encourages a person to stay close to the Lord. A person watching daily for the rapture will go on with life but be constantly looking for the return of the Lord each day. This blessed hope also has a purifying effect. A person will not get caught up in worldliness or wrong things if he thinks His Lord could come back at any moment. ~ Alan Yusko
