Eschatology has been blown out of proportion. Concentration on the second coming of Christ is falsely made an excuse for not accepting Christian responsibility for reformation in the church and in society. I hold very definite views in eschatology, but eschatology is not the integration point of my theology. I think that prophecy is often popular now just because of the current interest in all that is spectacular. The more extraordinary the better.
Excitement is the thing.
What is desired is the quick, easy solution. What is sought is instant everything. In all of the marks of this super-spirituality, we must keep in mind the difficulty we have in drawing distinctions. In doctrinal matters and in certain moral areas, the lines are easy to draw. If a person denies that Jesus is fully divine, he denies that Jesus is fully divine.
