Witness now while there is still time

billiefan2000 · Jan 10, 2004

I just wanted to share these end times witnessing tools that I use in hopes that they may inspire other Rangers in your communities.

I live in the Bible belt so there are supposedly a lot of Christians but honestly it appears that most people are not watching(hoping) for the Rapture.

In fact, IMHO, many Christians prefer not to think about it
because they are caught up in the world (just as the enemy would have it).

Throughout the ages, the imminency of the Rapture has encouraged believers to strive to live holy and righteous lives, never knowing when Jesus would come "like a thief in the night".

-Sure works for me! This was the purpose behind us not knowing the day nor the hour.

Of course, there are many people around who have never even heard the Gospel or just plain don't care even if they've heard about the salvation message. So many people rather just live for the here and now.

So, it matters not if you live in the Bible Belt or Sin City, people need to be reminded that Jesus is returning.

First of all I give out tracts in stores, doctors offfices, public places and anyone who comes to my home gets one.

My personal favorite:

I have also given these out that are directly end times oriented:

I stick a tract in all my bills that I send. I put the check inside the tract so they will have to open it to get the check.

I have Christian themed checks with Bible verses and above the signature line I had printed: "Jesus is returning-be ready!"

Next, both my vehicles (at the risk of looking tacky, which it probably does) have numerous bumper stickers.

Jesus is Coming-Be ready!

Get right with God or get Left.

In case of Rapture this vehcile will be unmannned.

I support Israel.

Keep the Ten Commmandments

I figure I look at bumper stickers and so do most people. So, maybe it will get them to thinking and plant a seed and or be reminder for those who know but would prefer to be of the world.

Also, driving around announcing that you are a believer makes you more cognizant to obey the laws of the land (speeding etc,)
which we should anyway.

Of course, if you want to be politically correct these are very bad ideas.

Personally, PC is straight from Satan to discourage believers from boldy proclaiming that Jesus is Lord!

I'd rather be spiritually correct that politically correct anyday!

Fellow Christians, this is not at all trying to toot my own horn because I don't want my rewards here. I'm just hoping to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ to be bold and let people know about Jesus (as we have been commanded) and to let them know that He is returning soon.

Truly, if we love others as we are supposed to, we are not going to want our neighbor to perish and will risk being looked upon as a zealot or nutty. Anyway, I'd rather be a nut for Jesus anyday!

When me and my house, which serve the Lord, disappear, those left behind will know where we went- forewarned is forearmed.

Wow, remind me not to visit your house.

You know what the average person thinks (not that you care) when they open the bills you send. Get a life!
And yes those bumper stickers are tacky.

I think Christians probably speed as much as others.

Maybe PC isn't Satan but maybe Satan is getting you to stick the tracts in your outgoing mail so it turns others off Christ. Clever that Satan fellow is.

Are you sure you do this for Christ or perhaps just a personality trait for annoying your neighbours.

Good for you, billiefan2000. I used to live in what would be referred to as a Sin City, in Nevada.. When my husband and I would go out to dinner, I'd leave a track on the table, I'd put them in the slot trays..in the restrooms, I dont think I reached many that we're there to do the gaming, but I know by a smile a janitor gave me as he picked up the track out of the tray, instead of putting in in his trash bag, he put it in his pocket. I seen that quite a few times. Old ladies would put them in their purse, instead of throwing them away.. We need to get back to going out into the highways, and hedges compelling them to come to Jesus.. :clap:

Gee I always thought the Holy Spirit led us toward the right path. Now I know it is just a disinformation campaign. Jesus is such a whimp he must make things up to keep his followers.

Dont forget to send in those bible tops for your magic rapture ready decoder ring...

Hi vinsight4u. If you remember me, I am a post tribber also. I see nothing wrong with giving tracts out, even if they do not say anything about post trib. The idea is, to give out tracts to tell a person how to be saved. We can make a religion out of a timeline if we aren't careful. We found out about post trib, so the thing is to get the folks saved, and God will take care of the rest. If He showed us, we can only pray over the tracts that we give, that He will show them also.

I think what billyfan2000 is doing is great!!!! More of us need to do what he is doing. I would love to send a tract in my credit card payments, rofl. Sometimes I think that they belong to the devil!!!!!

So tracts with lies in them have your blessing?
Whatever kind of tracts he is passing out is none of my business. I have my own ideas of what I would pass out.

Do you believe in vampires too?
Not hardly.

The tracts he hands out are dealing with the lie of pre-trib rapture and distorting bible verses.
Don't you think that when the antichrist shows up, they are going to know it anyway? Does the bible tell us anything different being post trib, then it does pre-trib, other then the difference in our timeline, and theirs? NO. The same things will be happening post, same bible, and if they have read their bibles, they will pick it up right away. It's not like they will go to hell going through the trib, just because they thought it was going to happen sooner.

Do you really think that God is backing such a thing?
I think that God is looking at hearts and not timelines.

Aren't lies what the devil's side does?

Well, I would have to say that the majority of the church is pre-trib, so are you saying that most of the church is being deceived, and us, the minority of post trib believers are the only ones who have never been deceived by the devil? You have made this more of a quest of convincing of a post trib rapture, then winning the lost. I'm not like that. I'm more into souls then times.

And good for them. At least they know it's not going to happen.

Yeah, in your opinion, because you're so desperate to find signs that the end is nigh when it really isn't. I don't like Pre-Tribulation Rapturism because so often it turns into this big judgemental trip to try and prove the end's about to happen through Scripture-twisting, false information, and defamation.

Throughout the ages, the imminency of the Rapture has encouraged believers to strive to live holy and righteous lives, never knowing when Jesus would come "like a thief in the night".

Haha, and where did you get your information from? Last I checked, 'throughout the ages' referred to a period of time longer than 200 years. The Rapture theory, having been dead for many centuries, was revived in its modern form in the early 1800s. Amillennialism and postmillennialism have been the dominant theories throughout the ages, with people encouraged to live holy and righteous lives because either 1. we are in the Kingdom (amillennialism) or 2. because the world is going to get better until it reaches a golden age and the Kingdom comes (postmillennialism).

From Jack Chick? That's laughable. That rabidly anti-Catholic fundamentalist guy isn't the most reliable source.

I'm not even going to comment on the rest of your post. It's too ridiculous.

Actually if you would believe that He is returing so soon, you should do what the book of Revelation teaches:

"Let the one who does wrong still do wrong, and the one who is filthy still be filthy, and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness, and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy" - Revelation 22:11

Imagine that! You are out of time!
