Ask questions about the Christian life... Email: askfrankandpres@gmail.com Question: "As a Christian, how much should I focus on the end-times? I ask because there are many Bible teachers/ministries out there who seem to be hyper-focused on end-times or the 'rapture,' or a soon 'escape' from troubles. They seem to have very little teaching and wisdom on how to live and plan for the future, today as believers. It seems to be short-sighted…am I off base?" Welcome to the latest installment of our series - ASK FRANK AND PRES. Frank Friedmann and Preston Gillham will attempt to give THEIR PERSPECTIVES on YOUR QUESTIONS about the Christian life and relevant Bible topics.
