Maybe this explains it
As it seems that I left my copy of Frank E. Peretti's Prophet in Maine I started to reread James BeauSeigneur's Acts of God and a passage struck me as rather important for some reason. Two men are discussing the Rapture and one is questioning why the Lord would take the righteous just when they are most needed. The other, a fundamentalist, replies:
"I admit that I did not know many Christians before the Rapture, but from all the division that existed among them, I suspect that if God had left them here, many of them would be too busy arguing over church rules and trivial doctrines to have been of any use in reaching the lost."The Christian church is experiencing changes of late, though I don't suppose that I need to point that out. The strengthening of fundamentalist Christianity mirroring the weakening and appearance of schisms in some sects may be a telltale. While no one knows God's timetable for the End Times I can't help but get the feeling that it is coming upon us. Rather like that feeling one gets that someone is staring at you. It is an awareness without any apparent cause.
