Most eschatological (a fancy college word for "last things" or "end times") teaching within the American Evangelical church is based on fear. The End of the World is Coming - we're all going to die - if we're not raptured away in some great "escape clause." Doom. Death. Disease and Destruction.
I don't buy it.
I remember being a frightened child - haunted by nightmares about volcanoes and the moon falling into the earth. I remember that every time the moon looked 'weird', i thought for sure that the end was upon us. I've come to realize that there is a better eschatology than one based on fear. I'll write more about that in the future. For now, enjoy the music.
