When did you last hear a sermon about the Rapture or the End Times? Does it matter? Pastor, when did you last preach about the Rapture or the End Times? If it has been months or even years, does it really matter? If a concordance search does not reveal a verse mentioning the "Rapture," does the Bible actually teach the doctrine? What is the Rapture? How is it defined? Can you name and explain the 3 main passages that teach the Rapture? When will the Rapture happen? If the Rapture happens today, how can you be sure you will not be left behind? For answers to these and many more important questions, read the inspiring, encouraging, and comforting book, Does the Rapture Still Matter?
