The link below is a sermon recently preached by Charles Cooper at the Vine Community Bible Church. Difficult days are ahead for those who attempt to faithfully follow the Lord Jesus. Economic, moral, and spiritual hardships will require the faithful to commit much time to prayer. Listen as I encourage believers to please make prayer a part of your daily routine.

Strong Tower Publishing, who publishes prewrath books and on other topics, has recently upgraded their website.
They maintain a directory of prewrath churches here. There are many more prewrath churches out there than is listed in that directory. So if you know of prewrath pastors, ask them to submit their church to the directory to help build up the church listings. One of the most common requests that we receive is, “Do you know of a prewrath church in XYZ city?” It would be good to refer them to a robust directory. It should go without saying that we think that a church affirming prewrath should not be your sufficient reason for attending that church, since there are other important doctrines and practices that should also be prayerfully considered. But a prewrath directory is a good starting point to research churches.
and the incline of Prewrath!
Ok, this was just for fun, but it is interesting to see how accurate it is.
Update: Four views of the rapture
You can read about it here. More and more believers who grew up being taught that they were going to be raptured out of here in beds of ease are rethinking their Tradition. God is showing them that he has purposes for having the Church encounter the Antichrist’s Great Tribulation such as refining their faith and encouraging other believers.
Please pray for the folks at the Gospel Tract Society since they will be given a lot of grief for their Berean spirit. I do not know if they have meaningfully considered the Prewrath position, but if anyone is associated with them, by all means, encourage them to study prewrath.
