Found this short interview with Craig interesting. I grew up thinking and believing that the Rapture was a Biblical doctrine that must be believed and defended. What do I know now? One must be diligent to research the Scriptures before being dogmatic concerning this issue; furthermore, followers of Jesus must expect great persecution regardless of whether the Rapture occurs. Persecution and tribulation is a fact of life for the one who preaches the Kingdom of Light in a world subdued to the Kingdom of Darkness. What are your thoughts? Do you have clear Biblical evidence for supporting your view?

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of ones youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! he shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:3-5
In a culture which views children as a "burden" in many ways, I am reminded by the Psalmist of the blessedness of having ones "quiver full." I have often said that training children is the hardest yet most rewarding work a parent engages in. We, as believing parents, have the distinct opportunity to train children, who will become adults participating in culture, who worship the one true God resulting in being "Culture Makers" for the kingdom of God. The way they think and thus live will impact the surrounding culture for the gospel, thus how we influence and shape them today impacts the world in the years to come, even in our physical absence. May the Father restore the Christian desire to have multiple children for the purpose of filling the earth with worshippers of Himself!
