If a clarion call was needed to exhort people to prepare themselves for Jesus' first coming, how much more important is the divine ultimatum for us to prepare for Jesus' return! Many prophetic voices speak of a great harvest of souls:
Are you sufficiently informed and engaged with the modern culture to enable you to reach the lost for Christ?
Is your church leadership trained to meet the needs of the culture while effective discipling people who have no understanding of church culture?
Are you ready to welcome and disciple an influx of people some consider to be the dredges of society into your pristine church environment?
Addressing the critical urgency of the day, this book exhorts the
Ekklesia
to make this a time of ardent preparation or risk being found as the Church of Laodicea (Rev. 3:14-22).
