Could you tell me the timing of the “Latter Rain” Is it pre trib: before the rapture or after?

Recently my husband asked me this question. “If Jesus was standing before you today and gave you the choice of going with Him or staying with me, who would you choose?” I answered my husband honestly “I would choose Jesus”, my husband said that our marriage vows and marriage couldn’t mean very much to me then. I told him not to lay this guilt trip on me, that he asked the question and I answered him honestly. I told him that Jesus comes first. He took it quite well. I am stumped about why he asked me that out of the blue. What do you think?

I have a question that bothers me very much, my husband (not a Christian) and I have supported a various children in other countries for the past 16 years. Also at my church I give what I can when I can, yet every time our Pastor prays he includes giving to God what is God’s, and being generous. I feel bad that I can’t give more than I do already. My husband and I are on an old age pension, and sometimes its hard. Am I being selfish?

After the recent horrendous shooting at a church, we saw our brothers and sisters in Christ immediately offer forgiveness to the deranged shooter. I applaud their stand in the faith. But I do ponder this and am hoping for some of your sage insight. If the shooter is demon possessed, when we forgive, are we somehow giving a pass to demonic activity?

Several years ago my husband and I found out I was pregnant. Shortly afterward, an ultra-sound revealed some abnormalities and I was sent to a specialist. He confirmed that my baby’s head wasn’t closing and so his brain wasn’t forming fully. I told my doctor I couldn’t have an abortion as I believed it to be murder, but he explained that even if the baby went full term it would only survive an hour or so. I finally agreed to a D & C. Same effect as an abortion but supposedly more humane.

I am saved and know we live in a world where “bad things sometimes happen”. My problem is that I can’t lay it down. I have three beautiful little girls now, and a blessing they are, but on occasion the grief over my first child and the murder I allowed floats to the surface to haunt me. I just want to put it to rest and have peace, but I can’t seem to find the way.

I enjoy your sharing Gods truth everyday. But lets shake it up a bit and post a few happy one’s. We seem to be in a rut about the end times. How about we praise together one day a week with your articles. I think God will like that also.

My husband and I are considering having our son be our only child. Some people in our families are suggesting that choosing to have only one child goes against God’s will. What are your thoughts on this topic? I looked through your site somewhat and cannot find anything on this.

My question concerns Joel 2:31 and the opinion of another teacher. This teacher says that Joel 2:31 will take place before the tribulation.He also says Elijah will come before the tribulation according to Malachi 4:5-6. I I find this fascinating and exciting,but I also realize that the rapture could occur before these two events even though they will be pretrib. I value your opinion so much. I would really appreciate a response.

In 1 Timothy 4:1, it says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith. Some teachers that I listen to believe this is proof that true believers can walk away from their faith and lose their salvation. Then they mention the perseverance of the saints. I believe that if you are a true believer that you will persevere even though you will not be perfect and will still sin.

I’m quite concerned for my husbands personal relationship with The Lord he says he’s a Christian and he believes in The Lord and he’s never given up but at times it seems he is so far off the rails I understand he’s been hurt in churches by others and he’s been thru tough times I find it hard to discern if he’s saved or not ( times he’s blamed God for things) what do I do in this situation because we have children and my deep desire is that they grow up in a Christian home please pray for us that my husband will come back to The Lord if he has strayed.
