Publisher's summary

Positive psychologists have proven that positivity leads to success, but most Christians in America have chosen to believe a single eschatological theory that leads to pessimism and cynicism. Pessimistic Christians put themselves in Christian bubbles and focus on self-preservation, and when a mind is clouded by negativity, interpretations of biblical prophecy lean toward the pessimistic possibilities.

The fantastic writings of the Left Behind books have popularized premillennial dispensationalism with good intentions, but that interpretation of biblical prophecy teaches that sinfulness will continually increase until Jesus throws up his hands in disgust and secretly raptures worthy Christians, leaving behind unworthy sinners to suffer the wrath of the antichrist. Teaching that questionable theory produces negativity that hinders the Christian mission.

When Christians believe that they cannot succeed in leading most of the world to Jesus, they will fail to put in the effort that success would require. Jesus, on the other hand, taught his followers that nothing will prevail over his church, and that teaching inspired them to sacrifice everything for the Christian mission. This is not a promise of prosperity without effort or of inevitable success, but biblical positivity is an energizing force that will help Christians flourish.

Challenging in a good way

Pastor Mike Wilson presents a very convicting and comforting message in leaving left behind. It is so easy for people to get down in the dumps about what is happening in the world today, but as believers in Jesus Christ, we have more reason to have hope and positivity in our lives. If God is the author of all things good, and we believe that, our lives and attitudes should also reflect that. Thank you for writing an encouraging book that does not sway on the principal teachings of the gospel. We need to take the secondary theological stances and discuss them. Not divide over them. Thank you, Pastor Mike, for reminding the Church of this. Positivity and working together with the saving gospel message of Jesus Christ is what will bring people to salvation, not divisive conversations. Thanks again!
