I confess to breathing a sigh of relief each Sunday morning when Pastor Zeke beings his warning about the End Times. He soars when he goes into details of the rapture, the rewards for the faithful and the misery of sinners. Every week it sounds new and exciting.
This part of his sermon is also the key to growth at Landover Baptist Church. A recent review of growing mega churches found focus on the End Times is the key to success. An example is in Oregon. That State was on the verge of being Godless until a preacher began his crusade to warning sinners about their future. Now his church is huge and continues to grow.
Our best days at Landover Baptist are ahead of us. We are needed to fight sin--people who want to be spared during the End Times come to us.
