Welcome to Encouragement for End-times Endurance.
Twice in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says "...he who endures to the end will be saved." (10:22, 24:13)
The purpose of this ministry is to encourage believers during these last days so that they might endure and be saved; so that they might hear Jesus say to them, "Well done good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of the Lord."
As a pastor for the past 19 years, I have been challenged by several things:
1. Consumerism among church members which can tempt a pastor to shy away from preaching such things as repentance, suffering for the Gospel, and what genuine conversion involves.
2. Movements among the churches which sweep up their share of members from local churches that don't embrace the movement.
3. Incomplete or inaccurate theology, where the Bible is made to conform to the desires of the people instead of vice versa.
For years I have appreciated those ministers of the Gospel who could come into my church and tackle the tough issues. This is the assistance which Encouragement for End-Times Endurance is ready and able to offer. By exploring the whole counsel of God, including a biblical "pre-wrath" view of the rapture, by God's grace we will counter these phenomena and accomplish our purpose. In this manner, we are here to help the local church minister genuine salvation and the keeping power of God in these end-times.
