The World is (Probably) not going to end today

The world is not permanent, as much as we would like it to be. But we should be wary of people who claim that a particular day (like May 21st) is The Day.

Jesus knew there were people who wanted to know a Definite Day, so he said this:

"Watch out; don't be fooled. Many men, claiming to speak for me, will come and say, I am he! and, The time has come! But don't follow them. Don't be afraid when you hear of wars and revolutions; such things must happen first, but they do not mean that the end is near." (Luke 21:8-9)

The end will be near one day, but it won't be the day a cult leader determines. Only God will do that...

For another good post on this, check out Sheridan Voysey's blog.

Edit: There's a great quote from Eric Landry on Justin Taylor's blog, about how we need to deal with this on Sunday and afterwards...
