Chapter 24
The Church is in turmoil and even your Christian friends are espousing things you know are unscriptural. You have a choice and God is holding you accountable. And not just you, but the influence you have on those around you! Ezekiel 3:17-18, (KJV).
Life Application
God is holding us accountable: Ezekiel 3:17-18 (KJV)

If you’re a Christian, you can’t escape the fact that everything you say and do is moving everyone watching you closer or further away from Jesus.
How many people would each of us have to share our faith with in order for God to spark revival in America?
You can’t force Christianity, but are you willing to share your testimony to draw people closer to God?
Our results-oriented mindset is a good one, except when we’re sharing our faith—and that’s hard for us to understand.
Chapter 25
Bible prophecy describes the last days we are in, especially 2 Timothy 3:1-4 (NIV). So many Christians cringe when they hear the word “rapture,” but you only do that when you don’t want to let go of this world! Time is short, the signs of the times are real, and millions of people need the salvation Jesus offers.
Life Application

As it was in the days of Noah: Genesis 6:5 (NLT)
We only reside on this earth for 100 years or so and then there’s Eternity. How can we have a Kingdom mindset?
All of us are called to seek and save the lost, just like Jesus, in the midst of our chaos and hardships. Do you?
What will you be doing when the trumpet sounds?
None of the chaos we’re experiencing today would be happening without our consent!
Chapter 26
The Bible demonstrates many times that heaven and hell are eternal. Many people refuse to think about eternity—they’re too busy, too important, or acting like they’ll live forever. But you have three choices: you can believe hell doesn’t exist, sit on the bench, or ignite your life!
